During my walk to the session today I passed the courts. I have lived and worked in Leeds all my life and have attended the courts for work several times, however this morning I looked at them with a completely different understanding and perspective. The reading definitely gave me a really good insight into how the court system in England works and how that applies to the role of a Social Worker. I did also have a brief thought as passing by the court about the fact that Police Officers do not undertake any formal law qualifications before beginning their role.

The case study on p29 of Brayne, Carr and Goosey illustrates the importance the law places on 'significant harm'. I am not sure that this particular decision of the judge to let the children go home would sit comfortably with my own personal values.

We will be looking at the question of values, where values come from, social work values and how they are supported or challenged by the Law as we go on through this module. It sounds as though you are talking about how values are presented in schools? I suppose we might question the source of these values and whether they are peculiar to Britain? And are they always reflected in the law, policy, attitudes etc....

I found Leon Taylor' s outline on the articles from the European Convention of Human Rights and how these are related to SW practice really interesting.. Definitely something for us all the bare in mind i think...

After reading the two chapters it is understandable why so much of the sw role requires completing reports. These documents are essential to demonstrate actions have been taken within legal frameworks and guidance.

British values are included in all areas of teaching even down to early years , 'the fundamental British values of democracy, rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect, and tolerance for those with different faiths and beliefs are already implicitly embedded into the EYFS' (DfE, 2014), are these not the foundations needed to develop tolerance in society? The ability to follow the law? And understanding right from wrong at such an early age, where studies highlight the importance of early intervention as key to breaking the cycles of poverty and deprivation.

I have studied some law and there are principles that could not be ignored by the judges when hearing cases. There is the principle of 'the man on the Clapham omnibus' when decisions on what is reasonable is called for. The person would be reasonably educated, intelligent and non description. If this was not used in a. Case it could be grounds for appeal.

Okay further reading on p53 has answered this🙂

I'm finding myself a bit confused by the concept of Common Law. Is this more a set of principles and common practice or are they clearly defined and enforceable legislation?

I agree surely reasonable adjustments is left too widely open to individual interpretation?

Some of you may aware but this government is already
insisting that ‘British Values’ are included in all teaching sessions at FE
colleges (not sure if the is the same in schools?)  At my college, lesson plans had to include a
section on ‘British Values’ and if observed this would also form part of your
observation.  My college went through
Ofsted just before I left and posters displaying ‘British Values’ were put up
all over college just prior to inspection. 
I changed mine to ‘Human values’, I wasn’t observed either internally of
by Ofsted since this was introduced so can’t comment on what my feedback would
have been.

Some very emotive videos/articles. Although humanity has come along way in establishing basic Human Rights, sadly we still have a very long way to go, particularly in terms of protecting the most vulnerable.

When thinking about Human Rights and Social Work, have a look at the following link, something i found useful in previous studies clearly defining/linking UN Conventions Artiles with the 5 Every Child Matters Outcomes. file:///C:/Users/Sara/Downloads/United%20Nations%20Convention%20on%20the%20Rights%20of%20the%20Child%20Every%20Child%20Matters%20five%20outcomes.pdf

Interesting to determine in each individual case what is seen as a reasonable adjustment for each separate organisation, bet that throws up a lot of legal debate.

On page 34 it states there is a one year time limit on making representations. However, I have experienced care leavers complaining about their care history many years after the incidents occurred. Is this at the discretion of each authority to consider? And what about cases where LA's have been sued by previous

Case study p29 Brayne & Carr:  This case study opened my eyes to how social workers need to be aware that not all children within the same family will be treated the same - that some children ARE actually safer than others within that family unit.
