Children Act. The Pro-Children Act also applies to all subcontracts awarded under this contract for the specified children's services.

Children Act. 1989 (child protection) thresholds do not determinate whether or not consent should be sought within MASH. It is inherent in the idea of seeking consent that it will be refused. If professionals consider it justifiable to override the refusal in the interests of the welfare of the child then they can and must do so. This decision must be proportionate to the harm that may be caused by proceeding without consent. Where it is believed the aims of the MASH might be prejudiced if agencies were to seek consent the disclosing agency must consider the grounds to override the consent issue. The disclosure of personal information without consent is legally justifiable if it falls within one of the defined category of public interest: The Public Interest Criteria include:
Children Act. 1989 Section 17 – general duty of local authorities to safeguard and promote the welfare of children within their area who are in need, and so far as is consistent with that duty, to promote the upbringing of such children by their families. Section 47 – where a local authority is informed that a child who lives, or is found, in their area is the subject of an emergency protection order or is in police protection or there is reasonable cause to suspect that a child who lives, or is found, in their area is suffering, or is likely to suffer, significant harm, there is a duty to investigate. Children Act 2004 Section 10 – promote co-operation to improve wellbeing. Section 11 – arrangements to safeguard and promote welfare. Crime and Disorder Act 1998 Section 17 – duty of each authority to exercise its functions with due regards to the likely effect of the exercise of those functions, and the need to do all that it reasonably can, to prevent crime and disorder in its area. Section 115 – any person who apart from this section would not have power to disclose information to a relevant authority or to a person acting on behalf of such an authority, shall have the power to do so in any case where the disclosure is necessary or expedient for the purposes of this act.
Children Act. 1989 places the same agencies under a similar duty to assist local authorities in carrying out enquiries into whether or not a child is at risk of significant harm; Sections 17 enable the local authority to request help from other local authorities, and NHS bodies and places an obligation on these authorities to cooperate. Part 1 Schedule 2 Para. 1 Requires local authorities and professionals in other sectors to take reasonable steps to identify children in need. Para 4 to prevent children from suffering ill treatment or neglect.
Children Act. If the event is for children or if children are attending, the Hirer should note the regulations for their safety. The Principal will discuss this with the Hirer, and the booking will not be accepted unless the Principal is satisfied that the children attending will be safeguarded.
Children Act. Safeguarding Children The Hirer shall ensure that any activities for children comply with the Children Acts 1989 and 2004, the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 and all subsequent legislation and that only fit and proper persons have access to children. All reasonable steps must be taken to prevent harm, and to respond appropriately when harm does occur. Relevant concerns must be reported. Children are not allowed in the Centre unaccompanied With the exception of private parties, where any events are organised for children by their parents or guardians all Hirers need to produce a valid certificate from the Disclosure and Barring Service, a copy of their Safeguarding and Public Liability policies, and (if appropriate) their instructor certificate on first hiring the Centre. Such requests may be repeated from time to time for checking and hirers are under an obligation to comply with these requests.
