May 27, 2007 01:35:51Over the last seven and a half years, Children Webmag has been looked after by a number of organisations and sponsors.
Originally it was set up by the Institute for Childcare and Social Education. Then the Social Education Trust took over control and supported the Webmag financially. Caring for Children managed the Webmag for a time, and more recently Northampton University has supported the publication. Substantial sponsorship has also been provided by the Hesley Foundation, the Scottish Institute of Residential Child Care, and the Charterhouse Group.
We are indebted to all these organisations. Without... - [Read more] |

Addressing Child Abuse in Japan
May 27, 2007 02:11:44A field work report from a seminar at the Department of Social Welfare, Kogakkan University, organised by Professor Toyoko Yasui
Introduction: Toyoko Yasui, Associate Professor, Kogakkan University
The number of instances of child abuse in Japan has been drastically increasing and cases range from physical and mental damage to fatalities. They are ranked from physical abuse, the largest in number, on to neglect, mental abuse, and cases of sexual abuse, which are the smallest in number. Factors leading to these abuses in Japan are classified... - [Read more] |
Adoption Diary : 5 : Celebrating Milestones
April 30, 2007 22:23:36This article first appeared in The Door, and we are grateful for permission to reprint.
Caroline and Roger have spoken candidly of the harder times which they encountered with an adopted child. Now they share some of the highs - and each event has one thing in common ...
“On reflection, I really think we overplayed the ‘lows’ in the last Diary”, says Caroline. “But its something that prospective adopters must realise: whilst having a family is a wonderful experience for those of us who choose to adopt - one day youre a... - [Read more] |
Budapest in May
June 5, 2007 21:28:07Every spring and autumn I get the feeling that it is about time to head for central Europe. It is a vague nostalgic feeling. Presumably migrating birds and animals also wake up one morning thinking, “It’s time to head south” or whatever, and there may be some very deep-seated echo in the human genes. In my case, there are associations of pleasant weather – not too hot and not too cold and definitely clement as far as rain, wind, fog and snow are concerned. There are expectations of pleasure – of meeting friends,... - [Read more] |
Building a positive future despite a childhood of hardships
June 5, 2007 21:35:51DVD Review by Kathleen Lane
Since I believe that we should be making greater efforts to exploit the possibilities of new technology at conferences and seminars, instead of the interminable use of power point I was delighted to be asked to review the DVD of the FICE Congress held in Sarajevo in September 2006.
FICE is an international organisation with member countries from all over continental Europe, the UK, North America, South Africa and beyond. There is a Congress and General Assembly held every two years. Countries vie with each other for the honour of... - [Read more] |
CCCF Reporting
June 5, 2007 21:31:57On 24 April 2007, the Christian Child Care Forum held its Sixth Annual Forum.
Baroness Valerie Howarth of Breckland welcomed people to the Forum. She spoke of children and childhood being on the political agenda in a wholly new way; not just as a reaction to scandals, and of the need for more strategic thinking about the sort of world we are seeking and creating for our children. She then highlighted the Christian Child Care Forum’s commitment to its vision of contemporary society, in which children and young people have a rightful place.

Circumstances, Identity and Choice
April 30, 2007 21:41:59As I spend time with my Mum in the last few months of her life (as Parkinson’s continues its inevitable path of destruction), we reminisce about times past. This self reflection on my part leads to wider reflections on my own identity.
Throughout my life I have never felt I belonged to any community. I was born into a family, separated at 8 by being sent away to school and then returning to the area of my birth to work and study, but feeling different because of my accent and family wealth. I then... - [Read more] |
Editorial : Culture and Child Care
May 27, 2007 01:36:41In this issue we report on the United Nations Draft Guidelines for the Promotion of Appropriate Parental Care, the Protection of Children Deprived of Such Care, and the Provision of Alternative Care.
The Guidelines pose a fundamental question. How far can the care of children and young people be seen as a world-wide phenomenon, with similar standards applied in every country and culture, or how far should local, regional and national cultures be respected, leading to variegated ways of bringing up children?
Clearly, humankind forms a single species and we all have an... - [Read more] |
Every Child Matters : Enjoying and Achieving
May 1, 2007 19:41:34How do we encourage very young children to enjoy and, as a consequence of that enjoyment, achieve? This is at the very heart of early years care and education.
The influence of adults on a child during these critical years might be a key factor in whether the young person and subsequent adult makes the most of their opportunities as they go through life, whether at academic level, work prospects, unique opportunities or other aspects of life. I don’t think those of us who work or train others to work with very young... - [Read more] |
Every Child Matters – Making a Positive Contribution
May 27, 2007 02:19:15Every child responds more favourably when they feel they belong. For everyone who makes a statement that they don’t need to be part of a group or a community, my challenge would be to say, “Of course you do; you just don’t know how to do that and still be you. You become a non-conformist and bang on about the freedom of the individual, but the most important thing that any of us can do is be a part of the whole and that’s a big thing.”

Federation Internationale des Communautes Educatives (FICE) Questions and Answers
May 1, 2007 00:51:16What is FICE?
FICE is the largest international professional association for people working with children and young people.
What does FICE stand for?
People have a number of ways of pronouncing the title, but the usual one is fee-say. The literal English translation is the International Federation of Educative Communities, but it is rarely used because its meaning is obscured by history. Most people use the initials.
How was FICE set up?
FICE was originally set up by UNESCO in Paris in 1948 to give support to the people working with refugee... - [Read more] |
Getting them off the sofa and into a kayak
April 30, 2007 21:26:19Nina Hasinski of Redpoint Holidays explains how taking a holiday can be good for all the family and contribute to the fight to reduce childhood obesity. This article was offered to the Webmag; with summer holidays coming along, its message is one we are happy to pass on.
Childhood obesity has been consistently in the headlines over the past few months - and with good reason. Reports that at least 25% of children in the UK are overweight, with 1 in 10 children over the age of 6 officially classed as obese, are... - [Read more] |
Great Expectations : 2 : In Secure
April 30, 2007 22:27:32This is part two of a three-part story. Ruth has just been admitted to a secure unit. If you wish to read the first episode, click here (http://www.childrenwebmag.com/content/view/334//).
Once I was clean and in some clothes the staff had given me, I sat down and looked at the beans on toast, savouring it as if it were a five course banquet, not that we had any of them in our house, of course, but I read a lot and knew all about feasting and carrying on.
I had a summer job before I met... - [Read more] |
