The parent-professional relationship in child protectionBASPCAN
This document summarizes the key findings of a study that examined how parents and professionals perceive the influences on their relationships in the context of child protection. It found that parents perceived child protection as positive, while most professionals saw it as negative. Both parents and professionals saw informal verbal communication as a positive influence. While professionals from different disciplines agreed on what helped or hindered relationships, there was no evidence they responded to changes in perceptions. The implications are that divergent views can affect empathy, while convergent views strengthen partnerships if recognized and addressed through training and support.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

2. Structures for Pastoral Care
Vertical
Benefits Concerns/issues to think
about
• promotes mentoring
system/leadership
• identity as a group e.g.
House
• Yrs 7-12 – variation in
developmental
progress
• appropriateness of
discussions/interactions
• inefficient use of time
with many yr level
issues to address -> HR
time becomes
administration focused
3. Vertical – 7-9
10-12
Benefits Concerns/issues to think
about
• Closer developmental
progress/interests/activities
• Transition 9-10 could be
seen as a “right of
passage”
• Change of teacher for
student could be good
• Change of teacher
• Loss of “whole school”
culture
• Create divide amongst
staff of “Middle
Years”/Senior Years”
teacher
4. Horizontal
PC teacher is also a PD/APD teacher
Meets daily for PC duties
1 lesson allocated to PD/APD -> teacher
develops close relationship with student
on various levels e.g. emotional, social,
intellectual, monitors engagement with
College values, expectations
Still first point of contact for parents
5. Horizontal
Benefits Concerns/Issues to think
about
• Similar developmental
issues/activities
• Strong relationships
developed, similar to LG’s
• More productive use of
time in PC dealing with
matters relevant to year
level
• If teacher changes each
year, loss of long term
relationship
• Teacher moves with
students throughout years
• Size of group for best
relationships
• Do groups align with
Houses? If so, how? More
houses needed?
6. Horizontal
PC teachers from a range of curriculum
areas form a core teaching team for year
level
Benefits Concerns/Issues to think about
Students and teachers know
each other well, stronger
relationships from a range of
perspectives
Promotes team approach for
teachers
Limited teachers for Middle
Years maintained
Works best before introducing
electives – 7-9
Size of groupings
Do teachers remain on year
level or move with students?
7. Horizontal/Vertical blend
Horizontal for Middle Years
Vertical for Senior Years
Benefits Concerns
Clear identity created
Same teacher can
remain for strong
relationships in both
systems
Lack of continuity/whole
school approach
elitism
8. Time of PC
Morning
Benefits Concerns
Great start to day to gather
with “family” group, ease into
day
Teacher can identify students
with concerns and implement
strategies to help student
Not seen as important by
some -> allows lateness
Roll marked, students leave
school, teachers do not
always refer to absentee list
9. Middle of day
Benefits Concerns/Issues to think
about
breaks day
Acts as a time of respite for
students e.g. identified
students who use markers to
help them get through the
day
Truancy minimised
If adjacent to lunch -> long
time for PC activities,
lunches on/off campus etc
Students who have
problems or bad start to day
may not get help
immediately
Rolls need to be marked first
lesson and sent to office
Notices to students – do we
put responsibility on
students/teachers of P1?
10. Start and end of day
Benefits Concerns/issues to think
about
Good way to start and wrap
up day
Beneficial for clarifying issues
before going home
Routine matters easily
addressed – uniforms, diary
etc
2 short times in day not
beneficial for
activities/relationship
building
11. Other issues…
Staffing PC groups – use of support teachers
Pastoral Guardian – splitting role/how to do it?
Houses – more needed?
2015 – two orientation
programs/activities/camps needed
