Children Act 1989
The Children’s Act 1989 was brought into force in order to ensure that the welfare of every child is paramount and their best interests are considered at all times. The Act is made up of some very important principles these are. * The child where possible should be brought up and cared for within their own families. * Parents with children in need should be given assistance to support the family and child or children. Help should be provided in partnership with parents meaning that parents make the overall decision; the service must meet each child’s individual needs. The service should be appropriate to the child’s religion, culture, race and language and be open to effective independent representation and complaints procedure. This is offered at the start of a new service and should also be available within the support framework. The service should offer effective partnerships between, voluntary agencies, local authority and other agencies. * All children should be kept safe and secure and be protected by effective intervention if they are in danger. * The courts should ensure that delays are avoided, and may only make an order if it is better than asking no order at all having the child’s best interest at all times. * Children should be informed about what is happening to them, and should where appropriate participate in future decisions relating to their well-being. * Parents should continue to have parental responsibility for their own children, even when their children are no longer living with them. They should be kept informed
