Taking that final step: The road to equal protection in WalesBASPCAN
This document summarizes the history and progress of the campaign to reform physical punishment of children in Wales. It outlines how Welsh politicians and the Assembly have supported banning smacking over the past decade through various votes and commitments. Recent attempts to include reforms in legislation have failed due to opposition. Advocates argue the research is clear that physical punishment harms children, while opponents claim it criminalizes parents and is unnecessary. The campaign will continue pushing for future legislation through the upcoming election and other avenues. Lessons learned include maintaining networks, flexibility, and engagement with professionals to ultimately provide equal protection for children.

The shocking fact that 96.7% of library and information workers identify as white has led us to create Diversity in Libraries of the North (DILON). The aim of DILON is to create a network for BAME librarians, to lobby for change in the sector and to raise awareness. We will discuss the current issues in the sector and wider society, and everyone regardless of ethnicity is welcome to contribute ideas and experiences so that we can stimulate positive change. DILON has also come up with some practical steps that delegates can take back to their place of work
The document summarizes a university/community partnership called KnoxHMIS that aims to address myths about homelessness through data-driven research. KnoxHMIS partners with local organizations to collect data on homeless clients served, with the goals of improving services, enhancing understanding of the population, informing policy, and highlighting social injustices.

The document discusses tolerance of minorities in Quebec. While Quebec citizens see themselves as open-minded, polls show most do not want religious accommodations for Muslims and Jews. They want minorities like Muslims to conform to societal norms. For example, over 60% do not want Muslim girls to wear hijabs in school or Muslim women to have their faces covered in public. Most Quebec citizens support a government "code of conduct" for minorities to follow. However, imposing conduct codes on minorities would violate rights protected by the Quebec Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
This presentation discusses the men's shed movement, which began in Australia and has since spread to other countries. It explores how the community-based model of men's sheds, which engage disengaged older men in activities and social connection, could provide lessons for adult education. The men's shed model has been very successful in attracting men who typically do not access social services. It provides an informal space where men can gather socially and do hands-on activities together for the benefit of their communities.
The National Alliance of Faith and Justice (NAFJ) has introduced a new program called Pen or Pencil to help reduce juvenile justice involvement. The program uses the story of the Carter family's role in desegregating Mississippi schools to teach youth about making choices and the importance of education. It includes presentations, courses, mentoring and service learning opportunities to help youth avoid risks, build life skills, and gain a sense of purpose. The goal is to address disproportionate minority contact with the justice system and reduce recidivism by promoting positive decision making.

This document discusses sustaining funding for civil society advocacy in education. It presents research on the Commonwealth Education Fund (CEF), which has supported such advocacy in 16 countries since 2002. Interviews with over 500 stakeholders explored how to continue this work as CEF ends. The research concludes national Civil Society Education Funds (CSEFs) could fill gaps, with funds registered and managed locally to support civil society organizations' engagement with governments on education policy. Establishing independent, country-run CSEFs is presented as the best way to sustain advocacy once CEF closes.
The WEA is the largest provider of adult education in the UK, offering courses since 1907 to help those who missed out on learning opportunities.

Courses are tailored to individual needs and include numeracy, literacy, IT skills, and sector-specific training.
The document discusses the importance of libraries engaging with communities, especially disadvantaged groups. It notes that libraries were originally intended to provide education and opportunity to working classes and the poor as an alternative to public houses. While equality of access aims for fairness, some lack resources to fully participate. Libraries have potential for targeted outreach through collaboration with local agencies and community groups. The goal is for libraries to serve as community hubs that support informed civic participation. Librarians are praised for their positive impact and as agents of change within their communities.

Edb003 Anti Discrimination in Troubled TimesMsButow
This document discusses discrimination and anti-discrimination in educational contexts. It defines discrimination as unfair treatment of individuals based on their membership in a social group. Examples of discrimination discussed include verbal abuse reported by same-sex attracted youth and policies aimed at promoting safe schooling. The document also examines how notions of race, culture and the other have shifted, and how media discourse sometimes employs problematic language that risks producing a generic stereotyped other. Schools are discussed as sites that should work to avoid contributing to racism in society.
Talsky-Stahili Submission for General Comment on children in street situationsJeffrey Van Erp
Stahili Foundation and the Talsky Center submitted recommendations to the Committee on the Rights of the Child regarding children in street situations. Their two key recommendations were: 1) that governments ensure street children have access to care and shelter, but that institutional care should only be a last resort, with family reunification or foster care preferred. 2) That governments invest in access to education, social services, and community development to address the root causes that force children into street situations. The submission argues for family-based solutions and notes that education, along with community development, helps children thrive and reduces factors like poverty that lead them to the streets. It provides the story of "John" as an example of the success of a holistic approach
Multiculturalism is understood as the presence, respect and desire for the preservation of the cultural diversity in a particular territory, as we find it in the Oxford Dictionary. It should also be noted that there are much more extensive and detailed definitions. It is also defined as the appropriate way to address the differences between individuals and not as an external factor in society. Related to immigration, the individual differences of every inhabitant should be taken into account, no matter what their origin may be, since multiculturalism is understood in terms of cultural diversity.

Child neglect is a serious problem that negatively impacts children's well-being and development. It is defined as the failure to meet a child's basic needs and can include neglecting medical, psychological, or developmental needs. Children who are neglected often suffer physically and emotionally and may struggle as adults. Achieving the goal of ending child neglect requires raising awareness about reporting abuse, educating the public on signs of abuse and neglect, and providing rehabilitation services for victims and abusive parents.

This document discusses gender inequality and its causes and impacts. It defines key terms like gender, sex, and sexism. It discusses how feminist theory analyzes gender roles and status. Gender inequality refers to unequal treatment based on gender and exists in many areas of life. It creates issues like child marriage, violence against women, health problems and poverty. While progress has been made in education and politics, women still face barriers. Overall, gender inequality negatively impacts both women's well-being and social development. Solutions require continued education, empowerment, and legislation to establish equality and prevent discrimination.
The British and Spanish law about bulliying 2017actgorofe
This document summarizes bullying laws and policies in the UK and Spain. In the UK, there is no legal definition of bullying but several laws require schools to take measures to prevent it, including developing written anti-bullying policies. Cyberbullying may violate laws against malicious communications. Schools have powers to regulate student conduct outside of school. In Spain, bullying is defined as repeated physical, verbal or psychological abuse between students. Spanish laws protecting victims include the Convention on the Rights of the Child and Constitution. For minors who bully, consequences depend on their age but aim to correct behavior rather than punish criminally. Schools may be liable if they fail to properly supervise students.
This document discusses education challenges faced by children in poverty globally. It provides examples of issues in China, the Middle East, Brazil, and efforts by organizations like Teach For China and World Vision to help. In China, millions of migrant children lack access to schools due to registration policies. In the Middle East, over 12 million children are out of school due to factors like conflict, fees and child labor. Brazil struggles with poverty despite its strong economy, affecting indigenous and rural children's education access. Teach For China and World Vision work to expand opportunities for children in need.
The document summarizes a lecture about participation in British society. It discusses who is included and excluded, and how this affects democracy. It examines factors that influence social inclusion and exclusion, such as public cuts disproportionately impacting youth. It provides context on the UK's first post-WWII coalition government and resulting reforms. Snapshot data is given on inequality along lines of ethnicity, class, disability and other factors. The lecturer aims to discuss the current state of British society, the 2011 London riots, and ways to improve democracy, equality and participation.
The document discusses socioeconomic inequalities in education outcomes in the UK. It summarizes that the attainment gap between high and low socioeconomic status (SES) children starts early and widens throughout school. By age 10, low SES children with initially high cognitive scores fall behind high SES peers with lower scores. These gaps continue into further education and career outcomes. The document examines potential causes such as differences in opportunities, resources, and expectations between high and low SES families and communities. It argues that reducing these inequalities could boost the UK economy by £1.3 trillion over 40 years through improved social mobility.
This document summarizes key findings from an NSPCC study on child abuse and neglect in the UK over the past 30 years. The study compared data from 2009 interviews of 1,761 18-24 year olds and 2,275 11-17 year olds to data from 1998-1999 interviews. Key findings include:

This year, Expo was more relevant and engaging than ever before, happening within the first 100 days of the new Government, and almost 12 months after the publication of the NHS Five Year Forward View. It was also a great opportunity to check on and learn from the progress of Greater Manchester as the area prepares to take over a £6 billion devolved health and social care budget, pledging to integrate hospital, community, primary and social care and vastly improve health and well-being.
