Protection from Harm
Social contract theory holds that people sacrifice certain freedoms in exchange for the protection of society.
How much freedom should be sacrificed?
Only the minimum necessary to protect the liberty of others.
*
Justifications for LawThe harm principle: to prevent harm to persons other than the actor (assault, robbery, arson) The offense principle: to prevent serious offense to persons other than the actor (public indecency or lewdness)Legal paternalism: to prevent harm to the actor (seat belts) Legal moralism: to prohibit conduct that is inherently immoral (gambling)Benefit to others: to provide some benefit to persons other than the actor (toxic waste dumping)
*
Protection From Self (Paternalism)
Laws that prevent people from harming themselves.
Ethics of care: OK—behavior is “good” for the subject even though he or she may not agree.
Utilitarianism: OK—such laws reflect a “public good.”
Ethical formalism: NOT OK—violates the concept of treating all with regard.
*
Paternalism with Restrictions?Should be as limited as possible.
Should only apply if a person is incapable of making a competent decision.
Should seek only to prevent a serious and irreversible error.
*
Protection of Morals (Moralism)The state often makes laws based on moral standards, even though there is no consensus within society about these moral standards.
Some behaviors are defined as “wrong” and are prohibited, although those involved in them are consenting.
Legal moralism may change through time.
The U.S. Supreme Court upheld Georgia’s right to declare sodomy illegal in 1986. In 2003, the same court declared Texas’s law against same-sex sodomy unconstitutional.
*
Paradigms of Law
Consensus paradigm
Society is a community of like-minded individuals who agree on goals important for ultimate survival.
Conflict paradigm
Society contains competing and conflicting interests. Governance is based on power; if some win, others lose, and those who hold power promote self-interest.
Pluralist paradigm
Society contains competing interests, but more than two basic interest groups exist; the power balance may shift as part of the dynamics of societal change.
*
Perceptions of Judicial Processing
The Ideal:
The American Justice system is fair and unbiased.
Two equal advocates, with a neutral judge, arrive at the truth.
The Reality:
Most defendants are represented by overworked and/or inexperienced advocates.
*
A “Confidence Game”:
Advocacy a pretence
Individualized justice a pretence
Bureaucratic Justice:
Bureaucratic efficiency supplants goal of justice
Presumption of guilt (plea bargaini ...
We are all waiting with bated breath for the Supreme Court decision in CN & GN, a case which will have a huge practical impact on service providers. Previously the Court of Appeal was dismayed about the damages claims, that had been litigated with little regard to, or understanding of, the law and reality of social care practice. Some of the team involved in the case discus what might happen next, and analyse the practical effect for you of the Supreme Court judgment.
Whilst that judgment has been awaited many claims have been on ice, but to fill that gap we are seeing many of our clients being affected by:
- pressure to consider Redress Schemes
- the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse
- claims being brought directly against them as fostering agencies
- claims under the Human Rights Act
- issues following the implementation of GDPR.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities. For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance. This guide will provide detailed notes on the Sectors of the Indian Economy Class 10, using specific long-tail keywords to enhance comprehension.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Civil laws
● CIVIL LAWS help govern our daily
lives. They usually
deal with disputes between people,
companies or
other organisations
● They deal with things like money
owed, family and matrimonial
disputes, property disputes, custody
of children, adoption, libel and
slander (known as defamation in
Scotland)
● The standard of proof in the civil court
is ‘on the balance of probabilities’.
NEXT
3. 3
Criminal laws
● CRIMINAL LAWS are there to prevent people
from committing more serious offences,
usually against people or property, and to
punish people when those laws are breached
● Criminal laws come from either very old
judicial decisions made in courts
(common law), or can be found in Acts
of Parliament (statute law)
● Cases are normally brought by the state,
often following an arrest, and prosecution
is through the criminal courts. Guilty
verdicts can result in fines, probation
orders and terms of imprisonment
● The standard of proof in the criminal courts
is ‘beyond reasonable doubt’.
NEXT
4. 4
Criminal law offences
Because some of these offences are so serious, security operatives
and other members of the public have powers of arrest for some of
them.
Criminal offences include:
● Murder
● Kidnap (Abduction in
Scots Law)
● Rape
● Assaults and sexual
assaults
● Drugs offences
● Public order offences
● Possession of weapons
● Theft, fraud and
Burglary
(Housebreaking

The Private Security Industry Act
● The Private Security Industry Act
2001 was brought in specifically
to regulate the UK’s private
security industry, and to help
raise standards of the individuals
and companies working within it.
One of its main aims was to
increase the public’s confidence
in the sector, and to increase
public safety
● The government formed a new
corporate body called the Security
Industry Authority (SIA) to do this.
NEXT
6. 6
The Private Security Industry Act
● License individuals in specific sectors
● Approve security companies
● Remove criminal elements from the industry
● Keep the industry under review
● Monitor the activities and effectiveness of those
in the industry
● Conduct inspections
● Set standards of training
and supervision
● Make recommendations
to improve standards.
The Act allows the SIA to:

The Equality Act
A prejudice is a hostile attitude
towards someone who belongs to a
certain group, simply because they
belong to that group, and are therefore
assumed to have all of the
characteristics ascribed to that group
Stereotyping is when we lump
certain groups of people together,
assuming that they are all the same
simply because they belong
to that group.

8. 8
The Equality Act
● Age
● Disability
● Gender reassignment
● Marriage and civil partnership
● Pregnancy and maternity
● Race
● Religion
● Sex
● Sexual orientation
(the protected characteristics).
The Equality Act prohibits discrimination on the grounds of:
NEXT
9. 9
Types of discrimination
Direct discrimination occurs when someone is
treated less favourably than another person, because
of a protected characteristic they have or are thought
to have, or because they associate with someone who
has a protected characteristic
Indirect discrimination occurs when a policy or
practice which applies to everyone particularly
disadvantages people who share a protected
characteristic.
NEXT
10. 10
Enforcement
● People’s rights under this legislation can be enforced
through the county courts, resulting in fines and/or
compensation being awarded
● The term VICARIOUS LIABILITY means that employers
could be prosecuted for the actions of their security
operatives or other members of staff if a customer is
discriminated against
● Discrimination can be hurtful, insulting and demeaning
to the recipient, and is not acceptable from security
professionals.

11. 11
The Human Rights Act
Under separate legislation, it is also made clear under
the HUMAN RIGHTS ACT that all people have the right to
be free from discrimination.
