  1. Starter Activity • Use the paper on your desk • Try to find a question based on what we have covered so far in our lessons. Ask the group on the table next to you to answer it.

  2. Write down as many words as you can think of, that mighty go with today’s objectives YOUNG CARERS are service users that need SPECIAL attention. How do you think the government helps young people to cope with life challenges?

  3. “The Children Act”

  4. Have a look in your book and find out: • The Children Act (1989) stated that services must be provided for ... • What organisation could be providing these services? • Which other organisations could they be working with? • What are the services children who are assessed as being in need will be eligible for?

  5. Where did Every Child Matters come from? Following the murder of Victoria Climbie in February 2000, which occurred although she had been seen by a range of health, social services and police authorities, Lord Laming produced a damning report on what had happened and how all professionals needed to co-ordinate their approach to children at risk.

  6. So what did the government do? • In June 2003, Tony Blair appointed the first Children's Minister, based in the Department for Education and Skills, with responsibilities for all education and social services for children, families and young people. Margaret Hodge, the first Children's Minister, published the Every Child Matters Green Paper in September 2003, which provoked a huge debate about how to integrate children's services to ensure that no child slipped through the net.

  7. What happened next? • The Children Act 2004 put into law the recommendations of Every Child Matters. In effect local education authorities were abolished and replaced by children's services authorities. These new authorities must have one councillor as the lead member for children and there has to be a Director of Children's Services, who is responsible for education.

  8. So what are the main issues going to be? • Establishing a common understanding of what children need and who can provide it is the big challenge for teachers, social workers, health workers and all the other professionals involved in dealing with children. The big prize will be making it easier for all children and their parents to access the full range of services. But better co-ordination, meaning children like Victoria Climbie are spotted and made safe, is an even bigger prize.

  9. The Children Act (2004) • The Act is build on the five Aims of Every Child Matters. What are these? • It also shifted the emphasis from intervention to prevention and encouraged services to work together more effectively. What does this mean in practice? • What are the Children’s Trusts? • The NSF (National Service Framework for Children, Young People and Maternity Services (2004) sets standards for children’s health and social care. What do these standards promote?
