Children & Youth / Junior Activities 2016-2017 “Keeping On Course for Our Future” For the 2016-2017 Auxiliary year, President Kelli Becraft has chosen a theme of “Navigating for Our Veterans and Their Families.” A compass, in the traditional American Legion Auxiliary blue and gold colors, will be the symbol for her year. This compass will serve as a constant reminder for us to keep focused on the goals and purposes that our organization embraces. What could be more important than making sure that children are protected, cared for and supported, especially the children of our veterans and active duty military families ? As Auxiliary members, we have so many ways to reach out to children and to be a constant reminder that we care about them. Included in this Program Action Plan, are materials that contain information that can help you navigate your way through the Children & Youth Program this year. Some of these programs may be ones that you are familiar with and others may be brand new. Please feel free to continue to support projects and programs for children that your unit has helped in the past. Always remember that however large or small, anything we do to improve this life of a child is a worthwhile deed. Working together, I know that this will be a tremendously successful year for our Children & Youth Program.

Kerang South Primary School Spotting the Warning Signs of Child Abuse for School Staff Child Safe Standard 5 When should I act? You MUST act even if you are unsure and have not observed the abuse. You MUST following the Four Critical Actions for Schools: Responding to Incidents, Disclosures or Suspicions of Child Abuse. Failure to act can be a criminal offence. What is child abuse? Child abuse can include physical abuse, sexual abuse, grooming, emotional or psychological harm, neglect or family violence. It doesn’t have to involve physical contact or force. Child abuse can include: talking to a child in a sexually explicit way grooming a child for future sexual activity forcing a child to watch pornography witness to family violence failing to provide a child with an adequate standard of nutrition, supervision or medical care to the extent that their development of the child is placed at serious risk, or is significantly impaired. Who is most likely to be impacted by child abuse? Any child can be victim to child abuse, however children who are vulnerable, isolated and/or have a disability are disproportionately abused. Abuse is often committed by someone the child knows well such as a family member or someone within the school setting. In fact, child abuse can be committed by any member of the community. Regardless of who the perpetrator or victim is the trauma of child abuse can have devastating impacts upon a child’s wellbeing and development that can last for the rest of their life. This is why it is critical that we respond immediately to any form of suspected abuse within our school communities. What are the signs that a child has been abused? The most common physical and behavioural indicators of child abuse are outlined below. This is not an exhaustive list. If you feel uncomfortable about a child’s physical presentation or behaviour, but have not directly witnessed or been told about abuse, or risk of abuse, you should still act. You can seek further advice contact and if you form a reasonable belief that a child has been abused, is being abused, or is at risk of abuse then you MUST follow the Four Critical Actions for Schools: Responding to Incidents, Disclosures or Suspicions of Child Abuse. COMMON PHYSICAL INDICATORS OF CHILD ABUSE bruises, welts, cuts/grazes or burns (especially those on back, bottom, legs, arms and inner thighs or in unusual configurations and may resemble an object) internal injuries and bone fractures not consistent with the explanation offered

Key strategic meetings around the CME agenda have also included the strengthening of the AVC Meeting is also now chaired by the Service Director. This has harnessed key services from education, health, and CSC and has also included school representatives. The further development of the Vulnerable Children Education Commissioning group has also emerged during the year to allow key services to identify high concern cases to agree a multi-agency plan ‘pooling’ their existing resources thus ensuring the best value of limited resource. CME - Key Priorities going forward We are continuing to improve and develop the work that we are doing within Nottinghamshire. Key priorities for 2015-2016 include: intervention with primary aged children at risk of CME Work is underway to expand the Primary Behaviour Partnerships to ensure that primary aged children at risk of becoming CME are identified, referred to the appropriate professional and supported to maintain full time provision. Intelligence sharing with partners Further refine the Vulnerable Children Education and Commissioning to ensure that available funding, resources, and professionals are effectively deployed in a coherent and strategic way to maximise the benefit to individual vulnerable pupils and young people at risk of being CME. Engagement with schools Further develop a shared responsibility for CME to ensure that senior school leaders understand their responsibility for any child or young person at risk of CME. The further development of effective information sharing through the locality partnerships should ensure that any child or young person at risk of becoming CME is known at all times by relevant professionals. Additional CME officer post (Children in Care) CSC and the Support to Schools Service is considering seeking funding from Schools Forum to fund an additional Children Missing Education officer as a result of our increased understanding of the number of children who are at risk of becoming ‘lost’ within the system. CME on part time provision Consolidate the data gathering process to ensure that the analysis undertaken identifies children and young people who are at risk of not accessing their full education entitlement. In addition to strengthen existing systems to challenge schools and other providers who are not meeting legal requirements. Fair Access Protocol Continue to monitor children and young people without a school place or at risk of being without a school place weekly to ensure that the Fair Access protocol is effectively used to ensure vulnerable children and young people can secure a school place or appropriate provision.

Children’s liturgy –Twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year A) Preparation of the worship space Colour: green Props: Romero Cross Resources: cut out footprints, pens and pencils Romero resource: Song suggestion: Follow me, Follow me (863, Laudate) Welcome: Jesus tells us that sometimes it isn’t easy to follow him. In fact, sometimes it is very difficult but it is always worth it in the end. Let’s think a little more about this today. Opening prayer: God of love, Jesus calls us to follow him even when life is difficult. Help us to have courage to follow wherever he leads. Amen. First reading (optional): Jer 20:7-9 Psalm: Ps 62:2-6. 8-9 r. 2 Gospel acclamation: everyone stands and sings the acclamation together. Suggestions include: ‘Halle, halle, halle’ (Caribbean) from ‘Sing With the World’, Alison Adam & John Bell; ‘Alleluia’ (Zimbabwe), Abraham Maraire Publications, WCC & GIA; ‘Celtic Alleluia’ (traditional); ‘Alleluia! Raise the Gospel’ from ‘Go Before Us’, Bernadette Farrell, OCP Publications. Gospel: Matthew 16:21-27 Gospel reflection: What do you remember about that reading? Jesus is trying to teach his friends what it means to be a disciple. A disciple is someone who wants to follow in Jesus’ footsteps but this isn’t always easy. Jesus says that sometimes it is difficult to follow him. Can you think why this would be? The Lord is trying to us to trust in him and to see that we are all one big family.

‘Closing the Gap: Priorities for essential change in mental health’: This aims to bridge the gap between long term ambitions, outlined in ‘No Health Without Mental Health’, and short-term actions. It highlights 25 priorities to improve mental health provision. The Health and Social Care Act 2012: This Act places duties on local authorities to reduce health inequalities for the first time. Mental Health Discrimination Act 2013: This Act removed three legal barriers that contributed to a stigmatised view of mental health problems: holding parliamentary office, participating in jury service and holding the position of a director of a public or private company. Crisis Care Concordat: The Crisis Care Concordat is an important step towards addressing the disparity between mental health and physical health services. It sets out the standards of care people should expect to see if they suffer a mental health crisis and details how the emergency services should respond. 8.2 Local Strategy for Knowsley The Strategy for Knowsley: the Borough of Choice is the overarching strategy for the Borough. Its primary objective is to outline the Knowsley Partnership’s long vision to make Knowsley a place where people want to live and work. The strategy addresses mental health by focusing on the overall health and wellbeing of people in Knowsley. Empowered, resilient, cohesive communities Safe, attractive, sustainable neighbourhoods Children get the best possible start in life and have opportunities to reach their potential Everybody has the opportunity to have the best health and wellbeing throughout life More people look after themselves and support others to do the same People are protected from risks that can affect their health and wellbeing Quality infrastructure and environment Improved outcomes for our most vulnerable young people Knowsley has the conditions in place to support sustainable business growth Knowsley residents are empowered to realise economic potential All council and partnership strategies, plans, policies and programmes should ultimately support the achievement of this vision.

Today we are going to talk about sharing. Did your mom or dad ever ask you to share? Share a room? Share toys? Share clothes? Share a seat? Does anyone ever share lunch in school? Sometimes we forget our lunch and a friend shares and keeps us from being hungry. is a story about a bunch of people who come to listen to Jesus teach. They followed him all day, and they were hungry but there is was place to get food, no McDonald’s, no supermarket. But Jesus had a plan. He know there was a little boy who was willing to share his lunch. Now that would be great if there were only a few people but there thousands of people. Do you know how many that is? Who can count to 100? Can you imagine counting to 100 over 50 times? Wow! Jesus took the boy’s lunch of some fish and bread and blessed it. Then his disciples handed it out to all the people. Then, guess what happened? Everyone got fed from this lunch of fish and bread. There was more than enough for everyone to eat. When they were done there were even leftovers. This all started because this child was willing to share his lunch. It was a miracle! Today we are going to talk about how we can share what we have and be a part of a miracle too. We can help by sharing what we have with others. The people of this church will share some of their money to help. The money will help build homes and hospitals and schools. It will help people in Africa, and in Puerto Rico, people in different states and in New Jersey. Even people here where we live. Now that might mean that we are being asked to share, too. We might need to skip going to a restaurant one night, or buying a toy. There might be other ways we can share, too. You can talk about this as a family. We can start by praying. Come with me and let’s pray together for all the people who need a miracle. Dear Jesus, thank you for all those who have shared with us. Help us to see ways that we can share to show love to others. Amen.

Children in need of care and protection The numbers of referrals to Children’s Social Care peaked in Bradford in mid-2009 with just under 600 referrals per 10,000 children following the high profile deaths of children elsewhere in the UK. There has since been a reduction in demand for higher-level social work interventions below the national rate, with referrals over the past few years remaining at about 350 per 10,000 children. In 2015/16 there was an increase to 5,549 referrals (396 per 10,000 children); however this is still considerably below the most recently published England average of 548 referrals per 10,000 children (31 March 2015). Bradford has lower than average numbers of children recorded by social care as ‘Children in Need’. The total number of ‘Children in Need’ in Bradford during 2015/16 was 8,537. Of the 3,848 children’s cases open at 31 March 2016, about 40% were of Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) origin, where ethnic origin was recorded. A smaller proportion of children in Bradford become the subject of a Child Protection Plan compared to national rates. The rate had risen sharply in 2014 to 41.7 per 10,000 children, but fell in 2015 to 36.9 per 10,000 children. The number has fallen slightly further by 31st March 2016 to 36.5 per 10,000 children, well below the most recently published averages of 42.9 per 10,000 children across England and 44.7 per 10,000 across our Statistical Neighbours (31 March 2015). The number of children being looked after as at 31 March 2016 was 848, a rate of 60.6 children per 10,000 children; in line with the national rate of 60 per 10,000 but below the Statistical Neighbours average of 78 per 10,000. The number of Looked After Children in Bradford fell slightly during the year 2015-16 compared to 2014-2015 of 878.

Since many people in the world today still hold to the idea that mechanical things are for men, girls can be looked down upon or feel judged if they want to get this set. Just as Aaron Devor notes in his essay, Gender Role Behaviors and Attitude, “persons who perform the activities considered appropriate for another gender will be expected to perform them poorly; [and] if they succeed… they may be rewarded with ridicule or scorn for blurring the gender dividing line” (Devor 506). This judgement still occurs even though individual girls could have a mechanical aptitude that equals or surpasses their male peers, and some individual boys may be utterly clueless when it comes to mechanical design. In this way, LEGO® caters to the male interest group by following the dictates of our culture, providing what its consumers ask for without trying to change their minds to be politically correct. And since LEGO® is a company, out to make money, why should it be forced to change who it tries to sell its products to if it is making plenty of money with its current strategies? fig. 3.
