Unit 10 - Explain why children may be taken into care. Describe types of neglect and abuse.
Lissa Williams Unit 10 – Caring for children and young people Pass one – Outline why children and young people may need to be looked after away from their families Children’s Act 1989, 2004 Section 3 (1) in this act parental responsibility means all rights, duties, power, responsibilities and authority which by law a parent or a child has in relation to the child and their property. Children’s Act 1989, describes how local authorities should carry out their responsibilities in relation to care planning, placement and case review for looked after children. These responsibilities are designed to support the local authority in its primary duty set out in section 22(3) of the 1989 Act to safeguard and promote the welfare of the looked after child and to act as good corporate parents to enable each looked after child to achieve his/her full potential in life. A key principle of the 1989 Act is that children are best looked after within their families, with their parents playing a full part in their lives, unless compulsory intervention in family life is necessary. Children in Care This is where the local authority has gone to court for a care order, usually against a parents’ wishes. The local authority may place the child with relatives, with foster carers or in a community (or residential) home until he/she’s 18 years old or the court end the order. Under

factors thata effect health and well-being
Factors that Affect my Clients Health and Well- Being In this section I am going to describe in detail factors that effect my client's health and well-being. For each factor I am going to explain how it affects my client and relate it to the PIES. There are many factors in my client's life that have a positive effect on her health and well-being, which should be maintained. However, there are also some negative factors, which are putting Elizabeth's health and well-being at risk. These factors need to be changed so that Elizabeth can ensure a good standard of health and develop her PIES in a more positive way. Factors that Positively Affect my Client's Health and Well- Being Regular Exercise Elizabeth is a very active person and takes part in a variety of sport. Elizabeth mainly participates in aerobic sports. Aerobic exercise increases the body's demands for oxygen and adds to the workload of the heart and lungs, strengthening the cardiovascular system and helping to increase endurance. Aerobic exercise is exercise that is maintained for long periods of time and is rhythmic in nature. Aerobic activities include: walking, biking, jogging, swimming, aerobic classes and cross-country skiing. Elizabeth will be benefiting in many ways from the exercise she does.

Family Support Resource
Family Support Resource Services (SSD), Lancaster This relatively new service started January 2004 in response to the 'Every Child Matters' Green Paper, which advocates a universal children and family service. It is a Lancashire County Council initiative. This service was established as it was felt that there was an over-reliance on residential care, and the family centre and nursery services previously in place were obsolete due to the influence of agencies such as Sure Start and Home Start. It was planned as a targeted service whose key aims were to reduce the number of children entering the care system and to empower parents. This service is therefore consistent with the five Key Outcomes outlined in the Children's Bill, i.e. Being Healthy, Enjoying and Achieving, Staying Safe, Making a Positive Contribution and economic well-being. It offers 7 days per week service, if required, 8am - 8pm. The service provides support to children, young people (0 -18) and their families. The Service Manager told me that nine wards in the Morecambe Bay area are in the 20% most deprived in England, and that approximately 10% of Lancashire's 260,000 children 0-17s live in Morecambe Bay. In and around this area, Social Services work with nearly 900 children with a disability, approximately 41 children are on the Child Protection register, and there are approximately 162 'Looked

Unit 4 P1 -Human Lifespan - Conception and Development
Level 3 – Subsidiary Diploma Health & Social Care April 23, 2015 UNIT 4 Assignment 1 The Human Lifespan P1 Conception is the whole process of conceiving or becoming pregnant. There are four stages of conception; copulation, fertilization, gestation, and birth. Copulation is the act of having sexual intercourse or could be done by IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) which is when an egg is mixed with a sperm in a glass and put back in the woman’s uterus. First, the ovaries release eggs into the uterus then the egg gets fertilized. When the sperm meets the egg and gets inside the egg, it gets fertilized and turns into ‘zygote’. After it turns into a zygote, it embeds itself in the lining of the blood vessels in the womb. Then the woman becomes pregnant. Copulation is the first step to conception. Every month, the ovaries release eggs to the uterus through the fallopian tube where it remains for 3 days. Ovulation is the term used when ovaries release eggs. When the man and woman have sexual intercourse, the man releases millions of sperms into the woman’s uterus. The next stage is fertilization; it’s when the sperm meets the egg. Only one sperm succeeds in fertilizing an egg. When it is fertilized, it is then called a ‘zygote’, it becomes embedded to the lining of the blood vessels in the womb and then the woman becomes pregnant. The zygote gets divided, a
Safe Guarding, Anti Social Behaviour and Domestic Abuse assingments
Transfer-Encoding: chunked Safeguarding vulnerable groups act 2006 The safeguarding vulnerable group’s act 2006 was passed to ensure that service users in a health and social care setting are protected from individuals that are believed to be unsuitable to work with vulnerable adults and children. This is because these individuals may have abused people in the past or the future by physically, emotionally and sexually. This act restricts the contact between the perpetrators and vulnerable people, by putting these individuals on the barring system which identified people who go to apply for a job in the health and social care environment are not allowed to work in this type of environment.

Development through the life stages
[Development through the life stages] Unit 4 – Sue Hope-Bell Infancy 0-3 Years old Physical Development Motor control develops from the head moves down through the arms and the trunk and then to the legs and feet. Initial movements are reflexive in nature, such as turning the head to the side when the cheek is stroked, which aids in feeding. As the initial survival reflexes fade, motor skills are related to the growing ability to observe and interact with the environment. A baby turns its head from side to side when lying on the back or belly and brings both hands together at the chest or mouth at 1 month of age. In between 3 – 6 months the infant progresses to lifting the head and chest up when lying on its belly and may press up with its arms. A 3 month old baby kicks its legs when lying on their back and belly, and bats at and briefly grasps toys. Between the ages of 3 – 4 months the baby will rock from on its belly to back and then back to belly closer to 6 months old. As the infant grows and gains strength, she can usually begin sitting by the age of 6-7 months and can play using their hands. Babies gain muscle strength and get on all fours (their hands and feet), rock back and forth, creep along dragging their feet and then take off full force crawling. When walking with help an infant would be around 9 months. Babies do not start their walking milestone with
