Views of children and young people in foster care survey: education
No full textThis paper explores the educational experiences of children and young people living in foster care in Queensland. Findings are drawn from the responses of 845 children and 1180 young people to the 2011 Views of Children and Young People in Foster Care survey, which is a rich source of information about children’s and young people’s attitudes towards and perceptions of their own education. Findings relate to educational status, key markers of educational disadvantage including suspensions and exclusions, and specific problems children and young people experience at school, as well as children’s and young people’s enjoyment of school and aspirations for the future. Information about educational support, including Educational Support Plans and support provided by Child Safety Officers and Community Visitors are also presented. Where relevant, comparisons are made between the 2011 survey results and prior surveys conducted in 2006, 2007 and 2009. Relationships between key educational measures as well as relationships to other important measures of health and placement stability are also explored.
The findings suggest that children and young people continue to experience educational disadvantage, including high rates of suspension and exclusion and a range of problems at school including problems with schoolwork, bullying and behaviour and that these difficulties can be exacerbated by the child protection system, for example, through placement instability. However, there are reasons for optimism. Children and young people are overwhelmingly likely to report that they enjoy school, expect to complete Year 12 and that their teachers generally like their schoolwork. Furthermore, over time, the proportions of young people reporting that they have an Educational Support Plan have grown, and, importantly, they are more likely to report that these plans are helpful. Analyses in relation to a number of educational variables reveal that young people with a plan they consider to be helpful fare better. Children and young people were also positive about the important role that CSOs and CVs are able to play in supporting their education.
While educational disadvantage is an enduring problem, the survey findings provide evidence of progress in key areas and suggestions for how continued improvements may be made
Gina Pane
No full textThis winter, the John Hansard Gallery launches the first UK solo exhibition of the hugely influential French artist, Gina Pane who lived and worked in Paris until her death in 1990. The exhibition is accompanied by the first English language publications about her work, and includes specially commissioned essays by Anne Tronche, Jennifer Blessing and Bernard Blistène.Building on the Gallery’s 1999 exhibition Lie of the Land, which showed Pane alongside, amongst others, Ana Mendieta, Dennis Oppenheim, Bill Viola and Marina Abramovic, this project offers timely access to a broader range of work from the artist’s archive, French National and Regional Art collections and private lenders. By concentrating upon work from various stages in Pane’s career, the exhibition examines the relationship between her practice as a painter, sculptor, installation artist and performance artist.Some of the pieces on display, such as Azione Sentimentale (1973), include the photographic documentation of performances in which Pane is seen to enact carefully planned and deliberately controlled self-wounding. In these works, Pane explores the relationship between mark-making on the body and scarring of the landscape, and seeks to demonstrate both the extreme fragility of the body and the reality of suffering. In conjunction with this, the subject matter and symbolic gestures featured in many of her pieces articulate her engagement in late 1960s feminism, identity politics and environmentalism. Whilst such works established Pane’s reputation as a seminal artist of feminist practice and performance during the 1960s, 70s and 80s, her legacy for contemporary art practice has become more urgent, making an exhibition of this key historical figure ever more timel
Outcomes for permanence and stability for children in long-term care in Ireland
No full textThis article is based on research about children in long-term care. It focuses on the
factors that help and hinder a child being and feeling stable in their foster home and
having a sense of permanence. The research was carried out with children in care in
Galway and Donegal between 2008 and 2013. It was proposed by Tusla – Child and
Family Agency and carried out by the National University of Ireland, Galway (NUI Galway)
UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre (UCFRC).
The main factors that were found to infl uence permanence and stability were
relationships, communication, support and continuity. The research shows that it is not
only the connection between the child and the foster family or parent that matters.
Instead, the whole system surrounding the child must also be taken into account. A
model was developed from the research which showed that children in care often have
a more complicated system than other children, as it includes both the family of origin
and the foster family. This research has been used to inform and improve practice in the
children-in-care teams in Galway and Donegal. In particular, this article outlines
resources available to foster families in terms of training, services and support
International Courts versus Compliance Mechanisms through the Lens of the Gabčíkovo-Nagymaros and Bystroe Canal Cases
No full textRecent developments in international environmental law are increasingly characterized by the concern with ensuring the effectiveness of existing international environmental obligations, as well as by a growing awareness of the need to adopt a comprehensive and integrated approach in the management of natural resources. Non-compliance mechanisms are generally assumed to be better than courts for achieving these aims. This chapter assesses this assumption through the analysis of the Gabčíkovo-Nagymaros and Bystroe Canal cases. Despite a judgment of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in Gabčíkovo-Nagymaros and the triggering of non-compliance procedures in Bystroe Canal, both cases are still pending or have remained substantially unsettled. In particular, this chapter compares the approaches adopted by the ICJ and the competent monitoring bodies, evaluating their respective contributions to: balancing the parties’ conflicting interests; stimulating meaningful and fruitful co-operation of the parties towards an agreed solution; integrating the interests of the parties concerned with the interests of other States, individuals or group of individuals and the global environment
Monitoring compliance in international criminal law
No full textThe present chapter has a twofold aim. First, it maps the current state of international supervision in the area of international criminal law, by looking particularly at the competence of treaty bodies and other non-compliance mechanisms (NCMs), their institutional and operative differences, progressive sophistication, and other developments in recent practice. Secondly, the chapter investigates the features of, and circumstances under which, NCMs established by specific international criminal law instruments are more effective than others in addressing situations of non-compliance and orient future actions of States
