Consider the impact on a Child(ren) raised in a lone parent household.
Consider the impact on a Child(ren) raised in a lone parent household. Many sociologists, such as Peter Townsend would believe that lone parent families are a by-product of an ineffective welfare system. Others however believe they are purely inevitable in a society that places more emphasis on live in relationships, than it does on marriage. Whatever their stance on lone parents, the fundamental question asked is, how does this affect the lives of the lone parents and their child or children. Lone Income families can be defined as a family, which consists of one adult parent who is responsible for one or more children. The parent can be either the father or mother, although in the majority of cases, it is the mother who is left to bring up the children. There are several reasons for lone parent families in Britain, the most prominent being the rise in children born outside marriage, however the death of a spouse or simply a marriage break up are also reasons. In a study carried out by Mack and Lansley titled "Poor Britain", it found that there are certain factors which can predict the risk at which a person or family is, from poverty. It found that couples are 10% likely to be in poverty, couples with children are 19% likely to be in poverty, but an astounding 50% of lone parents are at risk of poverty. As mentioned previously, women are much more likely than men to
Explain the requirements of Care in the community legislation in relation to mental health problems.
Sally Thornton Understanding Disability, Society and the Law Task 2 . Explain the requirements of 'Care in the community' legislation in relation to mental health problems. The care in the community act was put into place in 1990. The main aim was so that people with mental health problems and disabilities could be cared for at home rather than in an institution. This enables people to remain living in their own homes so they can retain as much independence as possible and avoiding social isolation. This means that local authorities have the responsibility of assessing peoples individuals needs. Some may need to be in a hospital to receive care and medication. People with mental health problems are able to stay in familiar surroundings whilst getting all the care they need. There are different types of services available such as support groups, home help and community day services. 2. Describe the Medical model of disability and the social model of disability. There are two models of disability, the Social model and the Medical model both with contrasting views towards disabled people. In the Medical model the illness, condition or disability takes priority over the person. They are just simply seen as being ill or disabled and needing some kind of treatment. The views of disability are that the condition or illness is seen first and the person second. Whereas
Risk and childrens play and learning.
D6 &C1 In an adventure Park children aged 5 to 7 years are able to take many risks and set themselves challenges. An example of a play activity that could be a risk and challenge in park could be a child climbing on a climbing frame the child is setting themselves a challenge by doing the activity and the risk is them falling off the climbing frame and hurting themselves. There could be many ways of climbing the frame for example a rope, ladder or even stairs. The safest route the child could take is the stairs. However, if the child uses the rope it is more risky and provides a higher challenge for them to take. The resources needed for this challenge would be the climbing frame itself and the three different ways of climbing the frame. By having three different ways of climbing the climbing frame the child has the opportunity to make the choice of what route to take. This activity is a good way for children to test their physical abilities and develop their gross motor skills. In the classroom children can challenge themselves by trying to cut out a big picture, the challenge is whether or not they are able to cut out the picture and the risk is whether or not they are able to cut out the picture safely without hurting themselves. The resources needed to this activity would be the scissors and the picture that the children are to cut out the reason why we have to be a big

Gary Soto, in his passage from A Summer Life, depicts the guilt of his six-year-old self during a pie-stealing escapade.
Soto Essay Rewrite Gary Soto, in his passage from A Summer Life, depicts the guilt of his six-year-old self during a pie-stealing escapade. His recollection of memories overflows with sharp imagery, sophisticated diction and intensifying repetition. Since written from a more mature standpoint, the memory seems well suited for these writing techniques. Though older, Soto uses imagery, diction, and repetition to immerse the reader in the guilt felt by his younger self. Throughout the passage, Soto's imagery dominates the phrasing. His sophisticated constructions and comparisons allow the reader to visualize the scenery just as the young pie thief himself would. As he is described wiping his "sticky fingers on the grass and [rolling his] tongue over the corners of [his] mouth," the reader gets an accurate view of just how involved the juvenile Soto was in his indulgence. And as a burp "perfumed" the air, one can fully visualize a plump little child covered in his own sticky sin. Soto's diction, too, is sophisticated in its delivery throughout the passage. He does not use simpler constructions nor does he employ clichés, such as "the sun was rising." Instead, he states quite poetically that the "sun wavered between branches of yellowish sycamore." The detail used lets the reader know that young Soto isn't solely focused on his pie; he also takes notice of the sun, passing

The narrator give the boys lots of instructions to do well in the game so he does win such as "they'll never find you in this salty dark" and "don't come out just yet" "uncurl and stretch" & "Out of the shed call out to them" these instructions help the boy hiding, The narrator also gives the boy warnings like "be careful that your feet aren't sticking out" and "They're moving closer" this creates tension and make the reader will to read on stronger.
