contraception. There is need for clearly defined roles about who should be advising the young person in the light of the above. Foster carers can consult and seek advice from the child’s Looked After Children’s Nurse. Decisions could be included in the placement plan, especially when there is particular concern about a young person's sexual activity. Foster carers are expected to discuss sexual matters with young people when appropriate and so need to be knowledgeable and confident about discussing contraception, sexual preference and identity and the consequences of unprotected sex. Foster carers are expected to take a health education approach, giving support and providing information. Pregnancy Whether planned or unplanned, pregnancy needs to be dealt with sensitively. Local authority social workers, supervising social workers and foster carers should help the young woman through her pregnancy and support whatever decision she makes about her baby. She may need help to decide whether to keep her baby, ask her family's support or consider adoption, but it is her decision to make. If a young man is about to father a child he will have feelings too. He must know that he can talk to you. He may also need professional advice on such matters as Parental Responsibility. Abortion The termination of a pregnancy requires careful counselling as it can have serious emotional and physical effects. Young women considering an abortion should be referred for professional counselling to an unbiased independent service. Foster carers should seek advice from the young person’s Looked After Children’s Nurse and supervising social worker in such situations.

Phase four: deciding where and with whom the child will live The CSSC Senior Team Leader and Manager have the legislative authority under the Child Protection Act 1999 to make the decision about where and with whom a child, who is in the custody or guardianship of the Child Executive, will live.

Has the movement of our nation from manufacturing to service been affected by quality, either actual or perceived? 10. Summarize Jack Welch’s perspective on the importance of quality. Do Welch’s perspectives strengthen or weaken your confidence in the future of the General Electric Corporation? Why? The section: “QUALITY STRATEGY AT GE” discusses the ongoing plans for quality at GE. The statement is made: To keep GE ahead, managers have devised an array of corporate strategies. They put exceptionally heavy reliance on the quality control program that far outstrips efforts, shifting GE’s sales emphasis from manufacturing products to supplying services, Why do you suppose that this move is being made? The article also says: GE’s quality program, which was borrowed from Motorola, Inc., involves training “Black Belts” for four months in statistical and other quality enhancing measures. The discussion of “Black Belts” is discussed on page 9: Six sigma is a procedure for implementing quality improvement analysis to reduce costs and improve product, service, and process design. Six sigma black belts become supply chain quality consultants who can lead value-adding improvements. The steps in six sigma include define, measure, analyze, improve, and control (DMAIC)-related activities. The GE Website has a discussion of Six Sigma and its use within GE. Six Sigma would be an excellent topic for additional discussion. 11. What is meant by the phrase cost of quality? How can this phrase help a firm address its quality concerns? The article, "QUALITY STRATEGY AT GE" contains the following statement: GE denied that such problems forced GE to adopt its new quality program. “We are not in trouble,” they said, citing the robust profits. But they conceded that “the time wasted, the money wasted, in field fixes, in quality problems, in working things out, across corporate , across the world, is enormous.” Does this give you any insight into the attitudes at GE after Welch’s departure?

1996 GA rejected an overture affirming that “partial birth abortion of a live fetus, except to save the life of the mother, falls short of God’s plan for humankind.” (In 1997, PCUSA did adopt a position expressing "grave moral concern" about partial-birth abortions.) 2006 GA statement: “When an individual woman faces the decision whether to terminate a pregnancy, the issue is intensely personal….Humans are empowered…to make significant moral choices, including the choice to continue or end a pregnancy.” 2009 PCUSA’s Washington Office fought efforts to remove abortion coverage and funding from the national health care bill. 4 Over the past 20 years, in each General Assembly a motion has been made to have PCUSA affirm the sanctity of life and oppose abortion. None of these motions have been approved. PCUSA currently advocates for abortion in the following ways: stated position- "the considered decision of a woman to terminate a pregnancy can be a morally acceptable, though certainly not the only or required, decision." PCUSA’s sexuality curriculum teaches that, "...it can be an act of faithfulness before God to intervene in the natural process of pregnancy and terminate it." financial support- PCUSA actively supports and endorses the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice (formerly the Religious Coalition for Abortion Rights, RCAR) and Presbyterians Affirming Reproductive Options (PARO). Both organizations are featured on the PCUSA website. medical benefits plan- PCUSA’s plan pays for abortion without restriction. The PCUSA is officially “neutral” on the matter of abortion, neither condoning nor condemning it. (The 217th General Assembly did approve a statement that opposes “partial-birth” abortions.) But the PCUSA has financially supported the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice (RCRC), a lobbying organization that opposes all restrictions on abortion. It has gone to court to oppose the federal ban on partial-birth abortions. The PCUSA went so far as to give the RCRC a “partnership in mission” award. By remaining a part of the PCUSA, we too partner with the abortion advocates. 4
