Childrens Rights

Children and Young Peoples Rights Provision, breastplate and Participation Assessment One The Children Scotland Act sets knocked out(p) the Rights of all children in Scotland and the responsibility of parents and those legally caring for a child. The Act in addition c e reallywheres duties and procedures for populace organisations such as Local Councils and Social Work Departments and Childrens earr separately System involved in promoting childrens welfare. The Act orders children first and states the secures of each child to basic standards of care, up legal transfer and nurture.The foundations for this Act are, each child has the right to be treated as an individual, they have the right to express their piles should they like to do so and that parents should be responsible and share the responsibility of bringing up their child. I think that this law shape ups the rights of children well as passim the Act the childs best inte substitutes and welfare are the highest ante cedence when their necessarily are existence considered.The Law includes that the childs view must be considered when decisions about their future are being repair and unless a dispute arises the court should non make any order, I feel that when a child is mature and old enough to let a view or opinion on a subject that effects them and their life that their voice should be heard and their opinion taken into consideration and I feel this Act helps to give them that voice.The UN Convention on Rights of the Child applies to all children and this Law states that a child is up to the sequence of eighteen the Law sets out in great detail what any child requires to have a skilful and happy childhood and does not discriminate against age, sex, religion, nationality or social background. The aim of the UNCRC is to promote and recognise childrens rights, they have set out the rights as cultural, health, social, economic, political and civil.This is currently the closely widely off icially approved International tender This International conformity aims to protect the rights of the children around the world. All fifty four articles aim to abbreviation how all children all around the world should be treated and what adults shadow do to ensure that childrens basic rights are met. Articles 43-54 set out how the government and international organisations will help to ensure that children are presumptuousness their rights.Regardless of age, race, nationality, religion the rights for all children are the same there are overly additional rights for disabled children and those children who live away from home to ensure that their needs are also met and that they are treated fairly. As this Act promotes that Human Rights apply to all children and that all children are equal, I think that this helps to promote a positive healthy image for children to have nonplusing up, that it encourages the principle that we are all equal.I think the fact that this act is cont inually assessing fortify as reports must be submitted any five years and self-directed organisations are invited to share their views and thoughts I believe this will help children to grow up with a positive outlook as the act covers every child with no exceptions. The Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act 2007. this Act was put into place after recommendations made in the Bichard Inquiry for a fitting system for all those who lay down with children and protected adults in the UK after the deaths of devil young girls in Soham.This new purpose was put into place to make sure that people who have regular contact with endangered groups each as a position of employment or through their work place do not have a history of deportment that would make them unsuitable to work with either children or protected adults. This scheme will also ensure that if a person after registering and being successful should then become unsuitable for working with children or vulnerable ad ults that they are quickly removed from doing so.As this Act provides a few improvements over the previous disclosure system I think that this legislation is very effective at protecting children as it is an offence for an employer to employ somebody to work with vulnerable groups or children without having become a member of the PVG Scheme. The restrain for employers to verify that a person is a scheme member and and then suitable to be employed is very simple allowing them to make safe and quicker recruitment decisions. This Scheme also means that someone debar from working with vulnerable adults and children in Scotland would also be barred from the rest of the UK and vice versa.I feel this Act will help to give parents and also professionals working in this sector piece of mind in discerning that each and every member of staff has been vetted and police checked, therefore ensuring an environment in which all children and vulnerable adults will be safe and secure. ledger Co unt 823 References *COLEG, Children and Young Peoples Rights Provision, Protection and Participation, DF50 34, Eleanor Mands 2004 *www.
