Evaluation Of The Referral Process

1. Understand how to manage disciplinary processes in relation to health and social care or children and young people's settings

In addition adults which working with children have an big impact on keeping children and young people safe within the setting, policies and procedures are very important an all staff that are working with children should have been informed and learned this is important because the workers must know what they have to do, what’s expected when they are working with children. Furthermore the policies in the setting will state what is expected as well as approved of the workers; they explain what the organisation does and how it should be carried out so that the child or young adult can be safe from abuse.

This essay will discuss the legal and ethical concerns when working with children and young people. Confidentiality and safety issues will be discussed with relevant consideration as to how these issues may be addressed when forming a relationship with a child and their parents or caregivers. The influences of power, gender, ethnicity and cultural differences when counselling children and young people will be mentioned, with relevant aspects of key human development theories outlined. There are many things to consider when building a therapeutic relationship with a child or young person and potential challenges will be analysed and discussed. Finally, there are many skills needed to effectively communicate children and young

How would the implementation of a structured recess program affect the number of behavior referrals during intermediate recess?

Practitioners and professionals working with children on a daily basis are in a good position to notice changes in a child's or young person’s behaviour which may be a possible sign of abuse. Children or young people may also confide in practitioners or allege that abuse has taken place.

According to nspcc (2017) "A referral is a appeal from a member of the public or a professional to the local authority child protection team or the police to intervene to support or protect a child." For a referral to be done correctly there are steps to follow , for example if a professional has concerns about a child's welfare , He/she must discuss with manager and / or agency's nominated safeguarding advisor including consideration of seeking parental consent .

Assess strategies and methods used to minimise the harm to children, young people and their families where abuse is confirmed (M3).

The goal of my research will be to determine the effectiveness of the implementation of the proactive and positive school-wide behavior management program in regards to the impact it has had on the number of student discipline referrals at my school, Otter Creek Middle School, a middle school within the Vigo County School Corporation in Terre Haute,

Often times it’s the student’s needs and the school being unable to meet the student’s needs that lead to the student being disciplined. Kids who are behind academically, and unable to perform at the same level as their peers often act out in frustration or humiliation (Noguera, 2003). Once these students are labelled as difficult, incorrigible, and unteachable they tend to believe these things about themselves and act out more in class which leads to a cycle of discipline that can ultimately lead to permanent expulsion. For some of these students, these continued rule violations lead to run-ins with the police and the criminal justice system. School administrators who are at times frustrated themselves from failed attempts to steer children from a “bad path” don’t realize that in throwing their hands up and giving up on these students, are in a way helping shuttle students from school to the penitentiary (Noguera, 2003).

According to the article Child abuse intervention, the governments have translated this concern for children into laws that require the finding and reporting of child abuse by all those responsible for overseeing children. The school is an important institution that is well trained to make these discoveries and report. The social services agencies have the main task of child abuse control, they are responsible for following up and monitoring any and all cases reported. They are “the primary enforcers.

I chose to research the Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports approach to positive reinforcement. I wanted to find out if this approach taught temporary or long-term (positive) behavioral changes. I researched this approach and compared it to the Responsive Classroom approach. In order to determine its effectiveness, I looked at referral data at Nimitz High School provided around this time this last year, and compared it to its current numbers. While it showed beneficial changes last year, I found an increase in behavioral problems this year. I also attempted to look at the reasoning behind the

Although based on the adult criminal justice system, the juvenile justice process works differently. Juveniles can end up in court by way of arrest, truancy or for curfew violations or running away. A youth may also be referred to the juvenile court system by school officials or a parent or guardian for being continuously disobedient. The juvenile justice process involves several different steps including intake, detention, adjudication, disposition and aftercare following release from a juvenile correctional facility. In this paper we will breakdown the numerous steps involved in the juvenile justice process as well as compared some

EBIs to reduce disruptive behavior and increase academic achievement can include trainings and implementation support at the school, class-wide, and individual student-level, and are often either academic or behavioral in nature. Overall, implementation of both universal (i.e. class-wide) and targeted (i.e. student-level) interventions have demonstrated positive impacts on decreasing disruptive behaviors and increasing student academic achievement (Flower, McKenna, Bunuan, Muething, & Vega, 2014; Vannest, Davis, Davis, Mason, & Burke, 2010).Ross, Romer, and Horner (2012) also found that teachers in schools implementing Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports with high fidelity

STAGE 1, Initial concern: This is where someone (parent, teacher, etc.) has concern for a student’s academics or behavior.

This will be on a scale of 1 to 5, 1 being poor behavior and 5 being excellent behavior. To keep the students identity confidential all students in the school will be graded on this scale and researchers will only use the scales needed. The hopes of this research will show that students who are receiving help will have improved behavior, while the control group will stay the same or decrease. The researcher’s theory in coming to this conclusion is that the students receiving help will show an increase in motivation, because they see and learn that people of authority actually do care about their and their families’
