...clear to those who worked with children what their duties were and how they should work together in cases of child abuse in Working Together to Safeguard Children 1999. The tragic death of Victoria Climbie at the hands of her carers in 2000 highlighted the dysfunctional way in which services for children were happening. The Laming report of 2003 examined this and produced the green paper/policy Every child matters which in turn instigated extensions to the Children Act 1989 creating the Children Act 2004, all of which support the UNCRC's articles e.g. 19, 32, that give children the right to be protected from harm and to have protection procedures in place that enable care for a child that safeguards their well-being. The Children Act 2004 focuses on: • The integration of children’s services and the introduction of children’s directors with responsibility for local authority education and children’s social services. • Lead councillors for children’s services with political responsibility for local welfare. • The establishment of Local Safeguarding Children’s Boards (LSCB) with statutory powers to ensure that all services work together to protect vulnerable children. • A new Common Assessment Framework to assist agencies in identifying welfare needs. • Revised arrangements for sharing information. Working Together to Safeguard Children 2006 added an update on safeguarding following the Laming and Bichard Inquires and a national framework to help agencies work together....

...information systems is the subject of this research paper, and if I was to choose one particular issue that interested me the most, it would be Privacy. It personally affected me in the workplace, so this paper will illustrate what I know firsthand. I’ll identify some human and technological protective measures I would use as security safeguards and enforcement actions in order to address the Privacy issue, list some problems related to management information systems that may arise from this issue, and propose at least one solution to address the problem in question. Privacy is the right of individuals to retain certain information about them without disclosure and to have any information collected about them with their consent protected against unauthorized access. In the workplace unfortunately, what we consider private could potentially be the reason for our employment or even our termination. Employers have monitoring systems that can measure performance and determine time spent at desk, and organizations, institutions, and firms can gather personal information and enter it into databases for their personal gain. One protective measure to safeguard my privacy would be to use a “private browsing mode”. That limits the web history kept on the computer, which will prevent others from accessing history data. Another measure would be to use cryptography to hide the content of communications while they stream between the user and the person receiving the communication. There...

...Bluefin’s CEO, Richard Sam. During the current year, Shaun and Richard jointly purchased an exclusive holiday home in Brisbane. The holiday home represents more than 10% of Shaun’s personal wealth. Required For the independent situation above, and using the conceptual framework in APES 110, answer the following questions. 1. Identify potential threats to independence & recommend safeguards to reduce the independence threat. 2. Provide an objective assessment of whether audit independence can be achieved. Threat (1) Safeguards (1) Objective Assessment (2) (a) Self-interest threat or intimidation threat: A close business relationship between member of the audit team & its management, arises from a commercial relationship or common financial interest may create self-interest threat or intimidation threat. (APES110.290.124) Per APES110.290.124 if one of the members of the audit team has a material financial interest in a joint venture with an officer who performs senior managerial activity, the threats created would be so significant that no safeguard will be able to reduce it to an acceptable level. So the possible solutions are: The business relationship needs to be terminated. OR It can be reduced to an insignificant level. OR The individual needs to be removed from the Audit team. Shaun, the partner in charge cannot have joint investment in a holiday house with Richard (CEO of Bluefin Ltd). This is...

...Internet Controls Vanessa King July 29, 2012 Internal controls are used within an organization to help safeguard assets and enhance the reliability and accuracy of accounting records. I think internal controls are essential for any public company to function. Safeguarding assets includes stopping robbery, employee theft, and unauthorized use and is very important for an organization. Minimizing the risk of unintentional mistakes, or errors as well as intentional mistakes or irregularities within the accounting process is what enhancing the accuracy and reliability means. It is required by law to monitor the different models of internet controls and the main reason for internet controls is so a company can monitor its actions and procedures. Physical safeguards include cameras, physical barriers, locks, and anything else to protect property. IT Security helps ensure that restricted documents are obtained by only authorized personal by using a lock, security code, or an employee ID as identification. I work at home and have to use a password, and a RSA token, which is a six digit number that changes each minute and helps my company make sure that I am the only one logging in because I have my password and the token. The two primary goals of internet controls are to safeguard assets from theft and unauthorized use, and to enhance the accuracy and reliability of company accounting records to avoid errors or irregularities in the accounting process...

...Agricultural Subsidies and Development In recent decades, rich countries and organizations have taken measures to preserve their agro industry. In many of the largest countries as a measure to stimulate the production, subsidy is made for the proceedings or part of the necessary crops. Nowadays we are faced in a big question: What is the impact of these subsidies on world market prices and the producers do not receive subsidies for their production? There are many opinions from different parts of the world and it is like that because each country has its own point of view and depends how much are they involved in the situation. I will try to distinguish myself and to be objective. I think that if the subsidies were removed overnight the impact on the average consumer and producer will be very bad. Family farmers will be driven into bankruptcy and this will lead to production falls. With less production the market will have risen on food prices and this will reflect directly to the average consumer. Another thing that will probably happen is that big corporation will continue their growth and they will kill smaller farmers with their prices. This will cause no competition in the agriculture and will lead to unfairly high prices. Another important thing that may occur is the lower quality of the products, because every farmer corporation will try to get as much as they can and they will no longer care about the quality because the competition is gone. I think that the benefits...

...Abstract This paper will analyze the justification and effectiveness of government subsidies. This paper will discuss an industry that is subsidized by the U.S. government and address the following: why the U.S. government subsidizes the industry, how the subsidy alters the market outcome, who gains and who loses from the government intervention, any beggar-thy-neighbor issues, and why the subsidy is or is not justified. Introduction Many industries rely on government assistance in both good times and bad. “The potential micro and macro failures of the marketplace provide specific justifications for government intervention” (Schiller, 2010). Government interventions “encompass a wide range of regulatory, fiscal, tax, and legal actions that modify the rights and responsibilities of various parties in society. Interventions can increase or decrease costs to particular groups, effectively acting either as a subsidy or as a tax” (Subsidies and Market Interventions, 2013). Since the 1930’s the government’s role has assumed more responsibilities including “maintaining macroeconomic stability, protecting the environment, and safeguarding the public’s health” (Schiller, 2010). Government Intervention A government subsidy is defined as “monetary assistance granted by a government to a person or group in support of an enterprise regarded as being in the public interest” (Subsidy, 2013). An example of an industry that is subsidized by the U.S. government is the energy market...

Procedural safeguards are in place for students with disabilities but those safeguards may differ from state to state. There are also differences in public and private schools when it comes to special education laws and procedures. A parent that is caught between sending their special needs child to a public school or a private school need to know and understand the similarities and differences in the two types of school systems. It is imperative that families know their rights when it comes to their rights and those rights of their child. I think it is important to know what procedural...

...Criminal Law Foundations Evaluations Kelly Meier CJA 484 06/01/2014 Keith Carr The Constitutional safeguards provided by the 4th, 5th and 6th Amendments to the United States Constitution describe the means to the principle of due process. These laws are set into place to ensure a safer living environment for all citizens. This paper will focus on these rights and the safeguards with in a juvenile setting as well as adult setting on a day to day basis. The 4th Amendment was put into place to prohibit unreasonable search and seizures of ones property without reasonable cause and without a warrant. Over time the Supreme Court has allowed some changes to this Amendment such as; allowing the police to search a person that has been arrested, the officer sees something in plain sight and search property where the officer feels that there may be danger to their self or the suspect. When it comes to juveniles there are restrictions on this amendment. Only juveniles under age 18 that have been accused of criminal conduct are granted the 4th amendment rights. If the juvenile is being accused of non-criminal behavior the constitution has not been defined (Kenneth T. Hanley, Fourth Amendment Protection for the Juvenile Offender: State, Fordham L. Rev. 1140, 1981). The 5th Amendment states that “No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval...

...Running head: Network Security The Importance of Network Security to Safeguard Organizational Proprietary Data Donald Shipman Strayer University Dr. Kwang Lee June 10, 2012 Abstract Cyber-criminal activity is on the rise in a world that thrives on the use of technology in everyday living. The close-minded thought process of simple theft of a credit card number or a social security number are long gone. Crimes in today’s business are much more extreme to include attacks that disable key functions of major operations such as public transportation and utilities, to the major financial records of customer information being exposed and stolen. In this paper I will focus on the latter. It is important that companies make significant investment in network security in order to protect its proprietary data from hackers and other criminals. I will address current attitudes toward network security, the rise in and recent increase in criminal activity, existing counteractive measures along with their effectiveness and the direction of network security for organizations in the future. Ultimately, the paper will show the importance of network security in organizations and the immediate change is needed to restore the consumer confidence about their information being safe. Introduction The Internet has become a staple of the business world today. One might find it impossible to be current on the latest world events without being able to effectively use it, navigate it, and understand...

...Unit 10: Caring for Children and Young People | 10D - Strategies used to safeguard children and young people from abusive and exploitative behavior | Abbie Williams | 02/01/2015 | P4: Explain appropriate responses when child maltreatment or abuse is suspected – There are a variety of different responses of which would be considered appropriate when you believe that a child or young person is being abused or facing maltreatment. You can observe the child over a period of time. Any and all information collected should be written or logged and should be considered carefully, for example listening to the child when he/she is at play. You can also observe the child’s relationship with their parents, carers or guardians and look out for any poor interaction between them. Things that may be said by the child: Mummy hit me Daddy touched me Daddy did this to me last night, but he told me not to tell anyone or he will hurt me again My aunt pulled my hair If you suspect that the child is receiving abuse or is being maltreated, (depending on whether the child is of developmental stage), speak to the child along with their parents/guardians in order to seek out some form of explanation. If you are going to speak to the child, make sure that he/she is comfortable. By feeling uncomfortable this may stop the child from disclosing any further information. By setting up various games for the child to play with, you will therefore be able to interact...
