Teachers feel children’s careers not central to their jobs

Full Article: http://www.stopinjusticenow.com/News_0959.htm

Teachers concentrate on children’s exam results at the expense of preparing them for the world of work, a survey has found
Four in ten teachers do not feel getting pupils ready for the world of work is central to their job.
They are more likely to view the number of GCSEs pupils pass or a successful Ofsted report as measures of success for a school rather than pupils ready to leave education for a career.
The survey found one third of teachers thought the number of pupils who went on to get jobs was the least important measure of a school’s success.
By contrast, two thirds of teachers viewed the number of pupils who went on to get good GCSE results as the top measure of achievement. A successful Ofsted report was the second choice given in survey of more than 300 teachers by b-live, a social networking facility for employers and youth organisations to contact young people

Second report blasts foster care service

Full Article: http://www.stopinjusticenow.com/News_0958.htm

County Hall bosses today said children were not in any danger, despite a second damning report into Lancashire’s fostering services.
But Lancashire County Council admitted the services had ‘not moved on’ after the OFSTED Joint Area Review (JAR), completed in May, described services for children being looked after as ‘inadequate’.
Two council officers quit their jobs ahead of the publication of the report today.
Gill Rigg, director of children’s integrated services, and Sue Fadipe, head of central services, left last week. But the council today refused to confirm whether the two were connected.
The report comes just months after fostering services were criticised in a November 2007 inspection. Council chiefs said the criticism relates to “processes and systems” rather than suggesting any children were in danger.
Council leader Councillor Hazel Harding told the Evening Post: ‘This inspection was in May and you are right, it has not moved on as I think we would have wanted it to. That is to be regretted.’

Dad killed himself after not getting custody of son

Full Article: http://www.stopinjusticenow.com/News_0957.htm

A DEVOTED dad set fire to his house and then hanged himself after being told he could not live with his son.
Peter Vaughan, 40, was so devastated not to get shared custody with his ex-wife for their son that he took his own life, an inquest heard yesterday.
He torched the Chapter House chapel he was converting inBangor Road, Penmaenmawr, then hanged himself, on February 24.
Yesterday Deputy Coroner for North Wales Central John Gittins recorded a suicide verdict.
Mr Vaughans sister Sue Pinnick said her brother, who ran his own pest control business, had married the mother of his son in April 2005, but the relationship ended within two years.
Mrs Pinnick, 34, said he went through several court cases to get access and a residency order for the boy, who cannot be named.
But soon before he killed himself he got a report from cafcass the Children and Family Court Advisory Support Service saying the boys mum was awarded control over their sons living arrangements.
Mr Vaughan was only awarded extensive contact arrangements: he had expected a shared residency order to have their son live with him part time.

Data standards for social care records due to be approved

Full Article: http://www.stopinjusticenow.com/News_0956.htm

Information sharing between social services and the NHS in England should become easier under a new care record ‘guarantee’ for users due to be approved next week, it has been claimed.
The Social Care Record Guarantee will establish standards for what should be included within children’s and adults’ social care records, and how they should be used and shared by local authorities inEngland. It is designed to complement and mirror the existing NHS Care Record Guarantee, which performs the same role in health.
The National Information Governance Board (NIGB) for Health and Social Care, the new data management watchdog for the two sectors, is expected to approve the standards at its 24 September meeting. The guarantee will then need to be adopted by each English top-tier council.
Assurance for users and professionals
NIGB chair Harry Cayton – formerly the Department of Health’s patient tsar – told last week’s meeting of the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services executive council that the twin guarantees would provide an assurance for professionals and service users about sharing data.

Nanny to the stars jailed after leaving baby brain-damaged in ‘act of genuine cruelty’

Full Article: http://www.stopinjusticenow.com/News_0954.htm

A celebrity nanny who left a baby with brain damage and a broken arm after shaking him violently was yesterday jailed for three years.
Jasmin Schmidt, 34, who has previously worked for an A-list pop star, lost her temper with the two-and-a-half-month-old boy during a ‘restless night’.
The force of the shaking caused tiny blood vessels between his skull and brain to tear and bleed.
On their return, the boy’s parents found him ‘limp and lifeless’ and took him to hospital.
Schmidt, a qualified paediatric nurse from Bonn in Germany , now living in Hampstead, North London, had been hired to look after the child while his parents attended a London Fashion Week function in 2002.
