Children Act. The Pro-Children Act also applies to all subcontracts awarded under this contract for the specified children's services. Accordingly, the Contractor shall ensure that each of its employees, and any subcontractor staff, is made aware of, understand, and comply with the provisions of the Pro-Children Act. Failure to comply with the Pro-Children Act may result in the imposition of a civil monetary penalty in an amount not to exceed $1,000 for each violation and/or the imposition of an administrative compliance order on the responsible entity. Each day a violation continues constitutes a separate violation.
Children Act. Recipient shall comply and require all subcontractors to comply with the Pro-Children Act of 1994 (codified at 20 U.S.C. 6081 et. seq.).
Children Act. The Hirer shall ensure that any activities for children under eight years of age comply with the provisions of the current Children Act and that only fit and proper persons who have passed the appropriate Criminal Records Bureau checks have access to the children. Checks may also apply where children over eight and vulnerable adults are taking part in activities. The Committee reserves the right to request the Hirer to provide a copy of their CRB check and Child Protection Policy.
Children Act. 1989 (child protection) thresholds do not determinate whether or not consent should be sought within MASH.
i) The administration of justice;
ii) Maintaining public safety;
iii) The apprehension of offenders;
iv) The prevention of crime and disorder;
v) The detection of crime;
vi) The protection of vulnerable members of the community. When judging the public interest, it is necessary to consider the following:
i) Is the intended disclosure proportionate2 to the intended aim?
ii) What is the vulnerability of those who are at risk?
iii) What is the impact of disclosure likely to be on the individual?
iv) Is there another equally effective means of achieving the same aim?
v) Is the disclosure necessary to prevent or detect crime and uphold the rights and freedoms of the public;
vi) Is it necessary to disclose the information, to protect other vulnerable people? 2 “Proportionate” is the critical issue. As previously stated a proportionality test must be applied to ensure that a fair balance is achieved between the public interest and the rights of the data subject. Information is shared initially within the MASH with or without consent in order to assess risk and harm which in turn identifies the proportionate level of response required. Once a decision is made by the Local authority decision-maker based on this shared information picture they, together with the relevant partner may hold back, within the MASH, any information which is deemed by the originating organisation to be too confidential for wider dissemination. When overriding the duty of confidentiality the MASH must seek the views of the organisation that holds the duty of confidentiality and take into account their views in relation to breaching confidentiality. The organisation may wish to seek legal advice if time permits. The MASH processes if followed correctly are relevant in relation to the determination of consent. The MASH is a relatively closed and controlled environment and this is one factor a practitioner can consider when determining what is proportionate to share with or without consent on a case by case basis. It is not however a single overriding reason in the determination of consent. All disclosures must be relevant and proportionate3 to the intended aim of the disclosure. All staff are reminded that information shared within the MASH is done so for specific purposes relating to the safeguarding of children. Any further use of that information, for example use by the police of Loca...
