...Task 2 Legislation/legal framework The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child Every child has the right to an education, to be healthy, to grow up safe and to be heard. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the child is a legally-binding international agreement setting out the civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights of every child, regardless of their race, religion or abilities. Since being adopted by the United Nations in november 1989, the CRC has received 194 ratifications with only two countries still to ratify. This means that they have agreed to do everything they can to make the rights a reality for children around the world. All signatories are bound to the UNCRC by international law, and its implementation is monitored by the Committee on the Rights of the Child. Under the terms of the convention, states are required to meet the basic needs of children and help them to reach their full potential. Central to this is the acknowledgement that every child has basic fundamental rights. These include: The right to life The right to his or her own name and identity The right to be protected from abuse or exploitation The right to an education The right to having their privacy protected The be raised by, or have relationship with, their parents The right to express their opinions and have these listened to and, where appropriate, acted upon The right to play and enjoy culture and art in safety On 25th May 2000, two optional...

...aspect of the school curriculum and one that prepares pupils for a productive and fulfulling life. The resource pack addresses issues of great concern to children and young people as they grow up in our society. A particular focus is gender and issues of inequality in Zambia. Many of the stories, photographs and activities enable boys and girls to reflect on the influences on their lives that shape their choices. English skills, literacy, and other elements of the curriculum are also supported and the sessions in the pack are designed to show how life and learning converge to change people’s futures. I hope that the many Zambian teachers and students who use this rich resource will benefit from the stories, and that the interactive and reflective activities will stimulate interest and learning in different local settings. Every child has the right to education. Yet in Zambia, as in many other countries around the world, millions of children, especially girls, are excluded from school. We often hear the statistics, but it is rare for those excluded children to have opportunities to make their voices heard. The resource pack draws on the stories of young Zambians from around the country who have struggled to claim their right to education. They have chosen to speak out and share their experiences with other young people to inspire them, and encourage those who may identify with them to have courage. The stories illustrate the many...

...cancer, therefore neutropenia is commonly seen on oncology units at hospitals (Flores, 2010). It is also associated with many other diseases like Lupus, Malaria, Hepatitis viruses, Barth Syndrome, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Sjogren's Syndrome, Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome, Aplastic Anemia and Myelodysplastic Syndromes, Parvovirus, Felty's Syndrome, to name just a few (Duffy, 2009). In hospitals, a common practice to prevent someone with neutropenia from acquiring an infection is to put them on neutropenic precautions. This literature review will look at several articles to assess key aspects of neutropenic precautions. Typical neutropenic precautions in hospital include keeping neutropenic patients in a quarantined environment, instituting dietary constraints, and giving them protective clothing. According to Young (2009), the most important and basic aspect of neutopenic precautions is hand washing. While hand hygiene is important in all aspects of health care, it is particularly important when caring for a patient with neutropenia. Poor hand hygiene accounts for over seventy five percent of hospital acquired infections in patients with neutropenia (Duffy, 2009). Hand washing alone is shown to decrease the mortality rate of patients with neutropenia by over thirty percent (Flores, 2010). Another simple neutropenic precaution is to keep people away from the patient who could increase the risk of infection, such as people with a cold. While being quarantined may seem like a cruel...

...P1 The term ‘Looked After’ was first introduced in the Children Order (NI) 1995 and refers to any young people under the age of 18 who are not being cared for by their birth parents on a temporary or permanent basis and must therefore be placed into care of the government. Whether through a Care Order, as part of short, planned breaks known as respite care or voluntary agreement of the parents (see below), social services will try wherever possible to work in partnership with the parent(s) of the child without neglecting the fact that the child’s needs are paramount. Many young people that are taken into care will eventually go back home. It is believed to be best for a child to live within a ‘family environment’ and usually a social worker will try to work with parents so that the child can remain at home in the environment that they are used to, even if they have been victims of abuse or neglect. In these cases, the child is closely monitored for any further signs of maltreatment. However in the majority of cases, Looked After Children (LAC) are placed into foster care away from their original home or are placed in kinship or network care (looked after by extended family or friends). This provides them with a family environment believed to be best for them and helps them to settle into life away from their parents. If these scenarios are not possible for a child due to a plethora of reasons, then they will be placed into residential care...

...respected, even in areas where they are deemed to be essential. Nursing, from its foundation and elevation by pioneers such as Florence Nightingale has always relied upon the idea of compassion as its core essence. Later on, other nursing theorists like Sister Simone Roach made it a key component of the development of her own version of caring as a theory on which nursing is based. The concept analysis developed by Avant and Walker (2011). Concept analysis in strategies for theory construction in nursing pp.157-176 provides tools that can be used to demonstrate the importance of compassion when it comes to its application for relevant and competent nursing practice. Compassion: A Concept Analysis From its inception to today’s practice the essence of nursing has not changed, despite its ever growing scope and field of action.
