BRITTNEY’S POST:
How will you prepare for a meeting with a family when a challenging behavior occurs?
I will prepare for a meeting with a family when a challenging behavior occurs by first contacting them and notifying them of the behavior as well as sending a note home with dates and times of availability. I would then get all my notes together about the child in questions behavior and if I do not currently have any notes already typed up I will then start making a list of all of the challenging behaviors this child exhibits. I would have some strategies prepared as well of how to correct these behaviors, but I would of course ask the parents if they have any input on specific strategies and/or discipline that they would like me to use.
List three strategies you will use when meeting with a family to discuss their child’s behavior.
· Be a straight shooter: I would just tell the parents out right the type of behavior that they are exhibiting. It is better to get straight to the point rather than beating around the bush about their child’s behavioral problems.
· Explain how you are handling the behavior: This also goes with being s straight shooter because you need to let the parents know how you are planning to correct the behavioral problems while they are in your care. I would also make it clear that you are open to any and all suggestions they may have.
· Be friendly: This is probably one of the most important strategies in my opinion because you need to let the parents know that you are there to help their child. When you are friendly to a student’s parents it will most likely make them more comfortable in your ability to correct their child’s troubling behavior.
Examine your own attitude and discuss whether or not you think families are responsible for how their child behaves at school. Support your stance.
I believe that a parent could be responsible for how their child behaves at school, but I also believe that the parent could have nothing to do with how their child behaves when they are not around. I am a firm believer in it all depends on the situation. The reason for the child’s behavior could be because of the way their parent treats them or it could be another child at school.
What data and records will you bring into the discussion to help move the conversation forward in a positive direction?
I would bring any and all data and records regarding the child’s behavior into the discussion. I would then discuss a few options on how I plan to correct their child’s behavior as well a.

KORIE POST:
If you are actively striving to do "good," how far does that obligation take you?
- My obligation as a volunteer to run a community violence-prevention program working with gang members is to protect the children. I have given my word that I will help these children fix their lives and listen to them. I want to make sure that these children are taken care of in their homes and that they are not in any real danger.
If the police know that I work work these children I have an obligation to these children. I would not put myself or the children into any danger.
-If the children tell me information that would lead to others or themselves into danger I would tell them that I have to speak up that it is my duty to do that. And, I would tell. The community and all of it's people need to be taken care of and protected. These children have no adult to depend on and direct them into the correct path, as other people have either failed them or left them. They need people who are ethically going to stand by them and help them in a time of need.
If there are issues affecting the community that have nothing to do directly with the one you're concerned with, do you nonetheless have an obligation to become involved?
- I would not say that I have nothing to do with something that is not directly concerned with me, but if it is about the community or the children that I am working with then yes I have an ethically moral obligation to become involved to make things right.
What if you don't really understand the whole situation, and your involvement may do as much harm as good—do you still have an ethical obligation to support or become active on the right side?
- I would not stick my nose into business that does not affect me, my community or the children that I am working with. If someone came up to me and was telling me about information, I would want to fully understand so then I can make a ethically correct decision on what to do. I do not want to do any harm to anyone or any situation my by myself not fully fully understanding the situation.
What if your support or activism endangers or compromises your community intervention?
- Sometimes having social action can make a positive change for taking action of the community. Making the changes in the community ethically can make a change for the people that are living in it. We need to be the activism of our communities to make that change for a better, healthier, world for our children.
"Activism is quite simply taking action to effect social change; this can occur in a myriad of ways and in a variety of forms. Often it is concerned with ‘how to change the world’ through social, political, economic or environmental change. This can be led by individuals but is often done collectively through social movements".
I would not want to do anything that would endanger or compromise the community and the childr.
For many parents, a child’s return to school may be met with a bag of mixed emotions, reservations and hesitations. They may have concerns about the potential of peer pressure, discrimination, school violence and exposure to various legal and illegal substances.

Child abuse is a subject which requires urgency in the matters of awareness by parents and society at large. Let's do our bit in preventing and eradicating this menace.
According to the Delhi Police, crimes by children in the 16-18 year age category are on the rise. This indeed is going to be a common phenomenon in the years to come by, particularly because there is very little being done in terms of reaching out the young and the adolescent with ways that help them deal with themselves and their situation better. Once into crime, getting out is not easy for anyone, including children. But the very purpose of the juvenile justice legislation in India is to provide these young people with opportunities to change before it is too late.

In 2020, the Ministry of Home Affairs established a committee led by Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh, former Vice Chancellor of National Law University (NLU), Delhi. This committee was tasked with reviewing the three codes of criminal law. The primary objective of the committee was to propose comprehensive reforms to the country’s criminal laws in a manner that is both principled and effective.
The committee’s focus was on ensuring the safety and security of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Throughout its deliberations, the committee aimed to uphold constitutional values such as justice, dignity, and the intrinsic value of each individual. Their goal was to recommend amendments to the criminal laws that align with these values and priorities.
Subsequently, in February, the committee successfully submitted its recommendations regarding amendments to the criminal law. These recommendations are intended to serve as a foundation for enhancing the current legal framework, promoting safety and security, and upholding the constitutional principles of justice, dignity, and the inherent worth of every individual.
WINDING UP of COMPANY, Modes of DissolutionKHURRAMWALI
Winding up, also known as liquidation, refers to the legal and financial process of dissolving a company. It involves ceasing operations, selling assets, settling debts, and ultimately removing the company from the official business registry.
Here's a breakdown of the key aspects of winding up:
Reasons for Winding Up:
Insolvency: This is the most common reason, where the company cannot pay its debts. Creditors may initiate a compulsory winding up to recover their dues.
Voluntary Closure: The owners may decide to close the company due to reasons like reaching business goals, facing losses, or merging with another company.
Deadlock: If shareholders or directors cannot agree on how to run the company, a court may order a winding up.
Types of Winding Up:
Voluntary Winding Up: This is initiated by the company's shareholders through a resolution passed by a majority vote. There are two main types:
Members' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is solvent (has enough assets to pay off its debts) and shareholders will receive any remaining assets after debts are settled.
Creditors' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is insolvent and creditors will be prioritized in receiving payment from the sale of assets.
Compulsory Winding Up: This is initiated by a court order, typically at the request of creditors, government agencies, or even by the company itself if it's insolvent.
Process of Winding Up:
Appointment of Liquidator: A qualified professional is appointed to oversee the winding-up process. They are responsible for selling assets, paying off debts, and distributing any remaining funds.
Cease Trading: The company stops its regular business operations.
Notification of Creditors: Creditors are informed about the winding up and invited to submit their claims.
Sale of Assets: The company's assets are sold to generate cash to pay off creditors.
Payment of Debts: Creditors are paid according to a set order of priority, with secured creditors receiving payment before unsecured creditors.
Distribution to Shareholders: If there are any remaining funds after all debts are settled, they are distributed to shareholders according to their ownership stake.
Dissolution: Once all claims are settled and distributions made, the company is officially dissolved and removed from the business register.
Impact of Winding Up:
Employees: Employees will likely lose their jobs during the winding-up process.
Creditors: Creditors may not recover their debts in full, especially if the company is insolvent.
Shareholders: Shareholders may not receive any payout if the company's debts exceed its assets.
Winding up is a complex legal and financial process that can have significant consequences for all parties involved. It's important to seek professional legal and financial advice when considering winding up a company.

1. UNDERSTANDING CHILD PROTECTION:
(and some useful tips on dealing with your situation)
This is a basic guide for any members currently caught up in
the CP process and attempts to give an objective view of CP
and untangle the maze of professional interests. Hopefully it
will also help you to understand what you can do to help
yourself.
What is Child Protection:
Until 2004 Child Protection was defined by S.47 of the Children
Act, 1984 as the responsibility of any local authority (and their
social services department) to investigate where a child was
believed: to have been harmed; to be suffering harm; or likely
to suffer harm without intervention.
Since 2004 there has been countless policies and legislation
expanding the scope of child protection to include other
professional bodies (such as medical and voluntary agencies).
The main ideas are the same – that children who are likely to
be harmed, have been harmed, or are being harmed should be
protected but the scope of abuse has widened to include
emotional and other abuses that are difficult, if not impossible,
to prove.
Who is the Subject of Child Protection:
It is the biggest mistake made to believe that CP processes are
about the child – they are NOT! The CP process is about the
adults around the child and assessing them for potential risk.
Any adult, whether parent or not, has to be viewed as a
potential danger. This is an important point because if there is
an adult who is a risk to children then parent(s) who do not
intervene and who continue to allow that adult access to their
children then becomes a risk themselves!
1
2. What about the Law and Child Protection:
Whether or not charges can be brought against an adult the
Local Authority has a duty to investigate, not only this but they
have a duty to intervene where they think that the risk is real
EVEN IF NO PROSECUTION IS LIKELY! This means that the
legal system only accounts for PART of the process.
The other part of the process is the Local Authority making
sure that children who are likely to have been abused, or are
likely to be abused are held on a register, formerly the At Risk
Register.
Where the Local Authority believe that the
parent(s)/guardian(s) of a child are incapable, even with
support, of keeping a child safe then they have a duty and
responsibility to remove the child from danger. This can be
temporary via an Interim Care Order, emergency via
Emergency Protection Order, long term via a residence or full
care order, or in permanent via freeing and adoption orders.
At no time are the Local Authority legally obliged to provide
services to the family in order to keep the child in the family
home – though it is implicit in legislation that the family home
is ‘normally’ the best place for the child to be, there is no law
requiring that the Local Authority has to ensure that this
happens. At the end of the day it is a case of whether the
Local Authority believe that it is worthwhile to try this angle.
Remember – harm can be: emotional, physical or sexual, there
is no need for the Local Authority to prove that harm is
happening just that it would be likely to happen!
Categories Explained:
Emotional Abuse & Emotional Neglect:
Abuse under this heading is the deliberate action of an adult to
cause emotional distress, trauma or injury. This can include
2
3. terrorising a child, threats, psychological torture, blackmail,
witnessing domestic violence etc. It is any action that is likely
to bring about emotional or psychological harm.
Neglect, whilst really indistinct from abuse, normally means
not helping your child develop emotional bonds and ties to
people around them or not showing enough emotional
affection and stimulation to the child.
Physical Abuse & Physical Neglect:
Abuse under this heading refers to any deliberate action of an
adult to bring about a physical trauma – this can include (but
not limited to) beatings, failure to provide warmth,
inappropriate diet, smacking, exposure to illicit drugs, failure
to seek medical attention for the child etc.
Neglect would tend to be in the realms of poor diet, lack of
exercise, poor safety standards in the home to prevent
accidents etc.
Sexual Abuse:
Is self explanatory.
Understanding the Professionals:
It is vitally important that you understand who the
professionals are (or may be) that are involved in the CP
process and where they are coming from:
Social Worker:
This is the ‘front line’ minion of the social services department,
they actually have little power themselves but their manager
does! Specifically in CP you have to understand that the social
worker and their manager will have seen countless
HORRENDOUS case of abuse and neglect, they are like troops
with battle fatigue or shell shock (PTSD). They have seen
3
4. things totally unimaginable to the ordinary individual and this
has an impact on them.
Add to this that they are currently facing the biggest service
cuts in their history, they are being told to account for every
penny spent and whilst most are genuine in their belief that
their role is to make family life better they are not and never
have been trained as accountants!
There is the added pressure that they are forever under the
gaze of public scrutiny – via the press and other media. They
rank lower than dentists and parking wardens in most people’s
minds. This really impacts on them and how they do their job!
The social worker will likely have far too many cases on the go
at the same time and this can be a ludicrous case load of
minor support issues to the horrendous abuse cases and
dodging between one and another wears them out.
Ultimately, and please don’t forget this, REGARDLESS OF THE
SOCIAL WORKER’S OPINION, BELIEFS OR FEELINGS ABOUT
YOU OR YOUR FAMILY THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR
TAKING OR MAKING DECISIONS – IT WILL BE THEIR
MANAGER!!!!!! You need to consider this quite carefully when
deciding to have a go at a particular social worker, you may
get them changed but the manager will remain the same!
Another myth is that social workers understand the law – they
actually do not, and if they have a poor manager then this can
lead to bad practice. Child Law is the most complex as it deals
so much with opinion rather than fact and it is very true that
most social workers do not understand this. They have basic
rights under law but invariably don’t know about them which is
when they make matters worse by pressurising parents to give
consent to things that they really don’t need to!
At the end of the day the social worker’s role is to treat you
(the adult) as guilty, this isn’t how it should be but in practice
is the only way that they have found that works – this is
4
5. directly linked to poor management and leadership.
Police:
The police have a duty to remain involved in CP cases where
there is a likely or realistic chance that charges will be brought
– they will follow a very strict guide and only get involved in
the lawful execution of their duties to detect and prosecute
crime! If these elements are not present then they will leave
the CP process.
Chairperson:
This is supposed to be an independent individual who
coordinates the concerns of the professionals and guides the
professionals into an agreed plan of action. No one wants this
role so it is dumped on social services. There are strict
guidelines to these meetings but in practice they are
unenforceable because there are no independent observers to
such meetings.
Solicitors:
Your solicitor is engaged by you to follow your instructions –
they are legally obliged to give you options and alternatives
but are legally restricted from telling you what to do! This
means that if you change your mind and tell them to do
something different then they have to do this – even if they
feel it is not in your best interests!
It is not your solicitor’s role to BELIEVE YOU, the whole
principle is one where the issue of guilt or innocence is not of
consequence, you have to have the best defence. Ultimately if
you tell your solicitor that you are guilty of something (this
applies more in criminal law) then they cannot ‘defend’ you by
saying you are not guilty, they would have to excuse
themselves if they know you are going to lie in court. This is
why sometimes solicitors seem a bit aloof or distant,
something you say may well indicate to them that you are
5
6. ‘having issues’ and they cannot reasonably argue that you are
not in court without telling lies!
QC/Barrister:
These are appointed individuals who present cases at Crown
Court, they have special training and are normally tied to
certain solicitor offices.
Conclusion:
You have to be prepared for the long haul and I cannot stress
enough these are the key tips for dealing with the situation:
SHUT UP – yes this is the biggest tip, keep your mouth shut,
the less you say the less they can accuse you of.
DON’T REACT – if you start f’ing and blinding all over the
place this makes you look ‘out of control’, it makes their case
stronger – they will often try and wind you up, you must
remain calm.
DO NOT BE ALONE WITH THE SOCIAL WORKER - ALWAYS
have a witness to what you and he/she is saying and take a
friend or member of your family to all meetings with social
workers. Ideally tape record meetings but you have to do this
with the permission of the people you are recording.
KEEP RECORDS - Start keeping records of everthing -If
you've not already started get a diary and start recording
every detail no matter how small.
COMPLAIN TO SOCIAL SERVICES - start a complaint if you
feel you can substantiate it as this can become a record of
challenging their behaviour.
GET A SOLICITOR - IDEALLY OUTSIDE THE LOCAL
AUTHORITY AREA AND ON THE CHILDREN’S PANEL –
solicitors are not miracle workers and they only do what you
6
7. tell them to, so have a good chat with them and...
LISTEN – you must listen to all the professionals, each will
give you a tip to ending the process: if the doctor says “I don’t
think your child is ill” then say thank you very much and leave!
If the social worker says “we are worried about contact as your
child keeps misbehaving afterwards” say oh dear that’s the
last thing I want, how do you think we should handle this. You
are either your own best friend or your own worst enemy!
WHAT ARE SOCIAL SERVICES LOOKING FOR
Many questions relate to the inability of social services to
communicate what they are looking for in Parent(s) OR
guardian(s) involved in CP processes. This is quite deliberate
because if you think about it if they told you: “well do this that
and the other” to every client then there would be NO children
on the list at all! Not even the ones that should be there.
Things that are important in assessments:
Physical Environment:
This is your home! Whilst no one is expecting a pristine ‘show
case’ home social services will be looking for signs that
housework is done regularly (no piles of dirty laundry – unless
it is a large household; washing up done or at least not huge
piles of washing up; bins emptied regularly – no black sacks in
the kitchen etc; a reasonable level of cleanliness – bathroom
clean even if not spotless; hovered carpets; cleaning
equipment present and used). They will also be looking at the
fabric of the house – does everyone have a bed, is the place
physically safe (no razor blades or knives on the floor etc), is
the decoration okay (no holes in walls or bare plaster if not in
the process of decoration). They will also look at pets – are
they clean, well fed, looking happy and well; are there too
many, is there excrement or hair all over the place, does it
smell, are the animals toilet trained, are they friendly…
7
8. Emotional Environment:
How secure does the child seem in its surroundings and around
people – are they over friendly, are they hostile and avoiding…
What boundaries (rules) apply at home and what are the
punishments if any; this is really important with older children
because even if your efforts fail you need to be seen to be
trying. How much affection is there in the home? Too much,
are the kids too close to adults, is there too little? Things like
praising good work, giving and receiving hugs, these all count.
How many friends do they have and the friends well behaved
and welcome in the home. What sort of extended family is
there, are they close and supportive. Do the family
communicate (talk), do they have meals together at the table
or at least with the TV off, do they play family games (like
monopoly).
Educational Environment:
Are the children encouraged to learn, explore and ask
questions – do they have books and do they use these books
(quite a simple one is asking yourself if there is a dictionary in
your home…)? Are the parents/guardian interested in the
child/ren’s school work and achievements? Do the family
watch educational programmes? Does the child attend school?
If so does he/she attend regularly, do the parent’s attend
parent evenings, how involved is the family in supporting the
school (fundraising as well as over punishments)?
Health Environment:
Do the children eat regularly, do they have a breakfast, lunch
and supper? Are they aware of healthy foods, do they have
vegetables and fruit. How many snack foods or sweets
(including fizzy drinks) do they have? Are they
over/underweight? How often do the family have meals and
how often together, are the meals balanced? Does the
child/ren have regular exercise (including sports and hobbies)
and are the parents supportive? Do the family go out for walks
8
9. or swimming or dog walking, rambling whatever, but get
exercise? Are there set and appropriate bedtimes? Is there
toothpaste and a toothbrush for each member of the family?
How often are baths or showers had? Is there shampoo and a
brush are the towels clean? How often does the child/ren go to
the doctor, too much or too little or just right? How many
illnesses or medical injuries have/has the child/ren had?
Social Environment:
What type of communal, family and individual social
opportunities are there for the child/ren? Do the family do
things together (like pictures or reading or playing games)?
Are other members of the family (aunts, uncles, grandparents,
cousins) involved and do they do things together? What is the
area like? Is it safe for the child/ren to play outside and do the
parents keep an eye on them and know where they are and
what they are doing? What are the child/ren’s friends like and
do the parents show any interest (approve or disapprove)?
How do/does the child/ren react to adults or strangers,
children, siblings, parents?
CONCLUSION:
These are just the basic headings but you can see already that
there is a ‘check list’ that is actually quite common sense.
Social Workers observe the family and take notes of these
things because the government says that they are important –
and research supports this saying that children that fail in the
areas above are likely to suffer as a result and may be likely to
head towards alcohol, drugs, sex and criminality more than
others.
This is what social services are looking at and it all plays a role
in forming their opinions of you, it may be difficult for a parent
to keep everything together but social workers accept this,
they just want parents to be aware and be trying rather than
succeeding at everything.
