To answer the question you have raised, I do believe that parents with CIDs are been unfairly treated by legal and child protection services. This is because the social workers of the child protection services tend to hold stereotypical views of cognitive intellectual disabled parents. So by taking away their children it reinforces the stereotypes because it’s commonly thought that if child protection services take children away the parents are unfit to care for them. Even though cognitive intellectual disabled individuals are legally allowed to have children and keep them it is still common for them to be taken away by child protection services. I believe that child protection services should use the same standards for CID parents as they

The CYP&F Act 1989 is relevant to the scenario presented through care and protection of the children involved. The twins are placed with Mrs Hodge because they did not want to go live with any other family, they feared that family would be like mum. However, a written consent for care is needed from the twins because they are over twelve years old (Ludbrook, 1991). Ludbrook stresses the importance of immediate investigation once they have received a report of abuse. If the investigation brings forth serious issues, it is reported to a care and protection co-ordinator who then urgently calls a family group conference. Family group conferences takes time to set up. In a serious case, the police or Social Welfare can get permission from the Family court to produce a warrant that allows them to remove the children (in this case the twins) from their parents or caregivers. The children are temporary placed in a safe place such as institutional foster home or residence (this scenario, the twins were placed with Mrs Hodge). However, a court warrant is not needed if

The day-to-day tasks of the Child Welfare social worker, who specializes in adoption, are “counseling birth moms, planning meetings, writing case notes, making Genetic Health Histories (GHH) for the child, putting together folders for the birth mom and adoptive parents, going on post-placement visits, home studies, post adoption support,” to name just a few (Glover). The duties and tasks of a social worker in this specific field differ day-to-day. There may be some days where the social worker just sits at a desk and fills out paperwork or there may be days where the social worker is not even in the office due to the fact he or she is out doing post placement home visits, assisting birth moms, running errands for things the office may need

The Child Protection (Offenders Registration) Act 2000 provides a register for offenders whom fall under a certain criteria. This criteria aims at those whom have committed offences including; the murder of and/or sexual intercourse (wether attempted or achieved) with a child. Other offences include acts of indecency, possession or involvement with any form of child pornography, offences regarding the abduction or attempted adduction of a child, filming a child for indecent purposes, and many other related offences according to the Australian Legal Information Institute.

Child abuse protection laws exist due to the belief and value that we place on the most defenseless persons; our children. Children have a right just like any person in the United States not to be abused or face maltreatment from anyone. The laws are to ensure that no persons under the age of 18 are treated unfairly and to free them from all forms of abuse whether emotionally, physically, or mentally. Perpetrators of child abuse can affect those victims for a lifetime, which often reflects the way children in our society will function within their communities. Negative impacts on a child can affect our society negatively as well and causing concern within a society makes this a social problem (wikiversity, 2016, para.1)

Children are vulnerable young ones that is no capacity to defend themselves and most likely relying to their parents or legal guardian for protection,care and their over all well being.These vulnerable children are the victims of harm,neglect and abuse.In their homes where the place they should have been protected where the trust and security is broken and the people whom you believe to protect them and give them care are the very same people that will bring them harm.Therefore, In Australia welfare law has its own Department of Human Services Child Protection division and The Childrens Court of Victoria to hear different cases and intervene the rights of the Children.The following paragraphs will be discussed the structure,role and purpose

Every single child in the world regardless of race, culture, gender, age deserves to be loved, cared for and kept free from harm and abuse. Children have a right to enjoy their childhood free from violence, injury or abuse at the hands of adults. This right is preserved in law, from the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child down to national laws and guidelines which cover all children not just those that are abused and neglected. In 1987 the Department of Health introduced the Child Abuse guidelines because child abuse had become a major social problem.

One of the prominent points that has arisen concerning both the child and the family is that of the GP’s and doctors assessment, conflicting with the mother’s diagnosis. The legal issues here concerns the right of the GP and their legal status in regard to Child protection and the burden and responsibility they take, which needs to be set out clearly for any social worker to relate back to. ’14 times over the last 6 months’ is a stand out figure that clearly shows some cause for concern, which would need to be looked into by a social worker due to the doctors thinking Maude is ‘making up symptoms.’ The GP themselves should be very rigorous and cautious at this point to ensure that the child is protected over a period of time by reporting
