Lost Child Policy
If a lost child would be found immediate attention would be given to the child. And following procedure would be followed:
1. Child Safety Coordinators (CSC): Safety coordinators would be appointed who would pay attention towards the children in the event.
Duties of Child Safety Coordinators (CSC):
• At the time of registration for the event they would give name tags to every child on which the contact information of the Special Coordinator Head would be given. In case of any lost child it would directly be reported to our department.
• A unique code word would be given to the parents/guardians of each child informing them about the rule of event for the safety of their children and if they hear their specific code they have
determination as to whether a child is safe or at risk of future harm and assess the need for services. The child welfare worker assigned to investigate the case failed to ensure the above.
The local authority will also ensure that a suitable placement is put in place for the child for the amount of time that they need to be cared for.
Children’s Social Care work with parents and other agencies to assess the stages of child protection procedures, record information and make decisions on taking further action. The police work closely with this agency to act on decisions made such as removing a child or the person responsible for the abuse while gathering evidence and carrying out investigations regarding the matter. Health professionals have a duty to report suspected non-accidental injuries to Children’s Social Care and examine children to give evidence of abuse. The Children Act 2004 requires every local area to have a Local Safeguarding Children Board to oversee the work of agencies involved in child protection, place policies and procedures for people who work with children and conduct serious case reviews when children die as a result of abuse. The NSPCC is the only charitable organisation that has the statutory power to take action when children are at risk of abuse. They provide services to support families and children and two helplines for children in danger and adults who are concerned for a child’s safety. They also raise awareness of abuse, share their expertise with other professionals and work to influence the law and social policy protect children more efficiently. There are also acts in place to protect children such as the Children Act 1989, the United Nations Convention On The Rights Of The Child 1989, the Education Act 2002 and the Children Act 2004. Legal framework from such acts are provided for Every Child Matters which requires early years practitioners to demonstrate that they provide activities that help children protect themselves. This may be through books and group talks known as “Stranger
Implementing successful prevention strategies will require the need to provide assistance to the entire family and focus both on the child’s safety and well-being as well as the parents’ emotional and economic well-being.
Can you imagine having your parents incarcerated? I can, when I was 10 years old my father was incarcerated and at age 23 my mother was incarcerated. Parental incarceration impacts you as a child or a teen in so many ways due to only one parent or grandparent being able to raise the child without the other. Parental incarceration is a very dramatic event in a child's lifespan. Having a parent incarcerated can have an impact on a child's mental health, social life and educational needs. Studies show parental incarceration can be more traumatic to students than even a parent's death or divorce, and the damage it can cause to students' education, health, and social relationships puts them at higher risk of one day going to prison themselves.(Sparks,
I accept all responsibility for the child(ren)’s behavior and conduct. I understand that reasonable care will be given, but if an accident should occur, I agree to hold harmless Kids Kamp, its pastors, staff, volunteers, or any of its designated agencies/individuals while the child(ren) is/are participating in any activity or function of Kids Kamp.

There are many flaws throughout the childcare system, which can alter the overall goal of protecting children. Today, there have been several such cases in child protection that resulted in tragedy. This may happen in the foster care system itself, or in the child’s primary home.
The idea of adoption has been around far longer than the formal legal system of adoption in place today. In the bible, there is a passage detailing the adoption of Ester by her cousin, Mordecai, after the death of her parents. Ancient Greeks, Egyptians, Romans, and Babylonians all had their own systems of adoption. Adoption systems differ from country to country. United States citizens who internationally adopt today allow for the blending of cultures, languages, traditions, and ideals. In contrast, the practice of adult adoption in Japan is a particularly interesting system used quite differently and reflects a lot of traditional Japanese culture itself.
Their hearts sank as they watched the child they had come to know and love as their own, be taken away by strangers that they had never met until today. As the CPS worker spoke with Mary she explained, “If you had just logged in her injuries acquired during the accident and told us what medicines you had used, this would not have happened.” Mary thought to herself “it was just a scrape… just a tiny little cut…” Many parents all over the world have gone through hardships like this one. If they even got to adopt at all. Many of the rules, regulations and prices agencies have come up with have been causing people all over the world to deter from adopting.
The basic concern of child welfare workers is for the safety of the child. Assessment of the risks involved in leaving a child with its family must be made quickly because children cannot be removed from their families arbitrarily.

...ut the children at further risk especially Sasha as she is at an age where it is easy for her to be hidden from services. The common assessment framework is a useful tool for professionals to assess and evaluate the risk factors posed to a child which may lead to them suffering harm. Taking into account the family circumstances, the likely course of action would be to initiate s.47 of the Children’s act 1989. A strategy meeting will be organized involving professional and services most involved with the family, roles of each professional would be discussed within the meeting and the next appropriate step of action for the family. If it is decided the children are still likely to suffer harm a child protection conference would be organised, the conference will enable the correct intervention to be provided to the family in order to minimize the risk to the children.
Child neglect is the most common form of maltreatment towards children, which may lead to various short- and long-term physical, psychological and social consequences. It is known to coincide with other forms of abuse and difficulties. Infants and toddlers are often the main victims of neglect.
...d that parent teacher conferences are in swing and a child abuse conference will be held. The child abuse conference could greatly affect me as an educator because in class we learned that you are a mandated reporter. This means that any suspected abuse must be reported; the teacher is also protected. The school board makes decisions to have these conferences in order to keep the staff and students protected.
