This misbehavior the families see as a problem and bring them to therapy. In this model the misbehaving child (the identified patient or IP) is not the problem. “Not coping with is the problem."(Banman 1987). Satir “operate[s] from the assumption that when there is pain in the family, all family members feel it in some way” (Satir, 1967). This means the therapists work is to help family understand that most family problem are a derivative of a struggling relationships. The IP, responsible for the family’s homeostasis, “family balance”, “develops symptoms” such as drug abuse or depression and low self-esteem due to the pressure of this responsibility. Individual change for the IP is difficult because as the IP starts to improve, the IP puts the family's homeostasis in jeopardy. Other family members take action to retain homeostasis by pressuring the IP to revert back to old family norms via threats or guilt. Most family therapy issues are not a result of pathology but of dysfunctional relationships caused by poor communication and low self-esteem. Satir puts greater effort into teaching, modeling and repairing

1. Setting the standards for the learning, development and care, ensuring that every child makes progress and that no child gets left behind. Parents, providers should deliver individualised learning, development and care that enhances the development of the children in their care and gives those children the best possible start in life. Every child should be supported individually to make progress at their own pace and children who need extra support to fulfil their potential should receive special consideration. All providers have an equally important role to play in children’s early years experiences and they have to ensure that the provision they deliver is both appropriate to children’ needs and complementary to the education and care provided in child’s other settings.

Firstly, OFSTED (The Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills) regulate and inspect children’s social care agencies and organisations, such as, care services for new born babies to schools and colleges which protects children and young people. Also, residential care homes, youth clubs, etc. would be regulated by OFSTED to review the quality of care they contribute to protect children and young people’s welfare. Following on from the quality, OFSTED look for implementation of legislation which protects and promotes children and young people’s prosperity. OFSTED ensures organisations provide high potential care quality for children and young people, including keeping them safe, healthy and wealthy. They promote this by allowing the child to have the right to enjoy and achieve the best lifestyle there are able to receive. Employees have to contribute to the quality to improve on the child’s wellbeing. This is accomplished by developing the children and

Along with knowing the purpose of quality daycare/child care facilities, the next important factor is to be aware of what generates a high quality daycare/child care facility. It is vital to know the characteristics because these prime objectives are the driving forces influenced by what children need in order to succeed and grow in their developmental skills. Fundamentally, “High quality [preschool] education can support early development in ways that yield long term social, cognitive and emotional benefits” (Barnett 2005, p1). The most essential aspect of a high quality facility are the trained, certified and attentive teachers hired to support children’s developmental needs. They ensure this by respectful interaction,

The National Standards for Childcare represent a baseline of quality which no provider in Englandmay fall below. There are national standards for five types of child care:

One issue highlighted is that there is a failure to implement good practice despite that fact that there were established frameworks in place. Another problem identified is that there is a failure to share sources of information which could have contributed to a better understanding of children and families. Finally, there is often insufficient consideration given to the child’s individual views and needs. This meant that the child’s voice was not heard and listened to. When the LSCB conduct a serious case review, they follow statutory guidance set out in government legislation such as the Working Together to Safeguard Children (2013) document. This document emphasises the importance of a child centred and integrated approach to safeguarding. It details 2 key principles that should be underpinned in every local area to achieve effective safeguarding of children and young people. These are are ‘safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility: for services to be effective each professional and organisation should play their full part’ and that a ‘child centred approach; for services to be effective they should be based on a clear understanding of the needs and views of children’. The document highlights the importance of services working together, learning from their own practices to improve standards and quality of care for the welfare
