Thought I would blog these as I do not have the time to really look into these at the minute, but they may come in use for the next presentation. Many thanks to Ihar Ivanhou for sharing these with us.
I really like the idea of recording/using someone elses voice to record and play back your presentation, the pressure of standing up and presenting is taken away with the use of this tool helloslide .http://www.helloslide.com/
Slideshare is somewhere we can share our presentations on the web

Well what a lovely surprise I had on Friday in Lin's class when I won a bottle of perfume because I communicate lots. When I told my daughter she did not understand so I said basically it means your mum has lots to say and is always talking!!!

So I must apologise to those of you that get facebook communications on your phone and keep getting a new notification from Maria!!!

Criminal Youth
This is what we are currently look at for Rachel, we are only one lesson in but I get the feeling I am going to enjoy this, it is already very interesting.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/i/b01glw34/
This link is to one of four programmes on BBC I player that Rachel and Victoria were talking about called Our Crime.
Having looked online at the Guardian there is an enormous amount of reading around this subject!!
There was a really interesting Guardian article concerning the age of criminal responsibility which is something we discussed in class. This article states that the human brain is not mature until the early to mid-twenties. However after the summer riots people aged 18 years and over were treated as adults, with the judge stating that each and everyone of them knew exactly what they were doing. On the other hand Germany sometimes choose to use the juvenile court for people aged 21 years and under as they are of the opinion that offenders up to the age of 21 years can be immature

Edlington Brothers
There are so many articles on the Edlington Brothers too many to list but here are a few. The BBC link takes you to a clip from Newsnight about how it could have been prevented.

Missed opportunities
The report highlights 12 lessons that should have been learnt from previous cases and outlines the events leading up to the Edlington attack.
It spells out how the assault was not only predictable, it was entirely preventable.
Over the course of 14 years, nine agencies had been involved with the brothers' family - between them they missed 31 opportunities to intervene.
The report praises the exceptional commitment of some professionals, but cites a lack of leadership and effective multi-agency working as contributing to the incident.

Elder Abuse
Action On Elder Abuse Website
Reading the article that Lin gave us Power and Control: Understanding Domestic Abuse In Later Life made me think about elder people who are unable to speak out due to their illness/disability for example someone who has had a stroke and their speech is impaired.
looking glass self - Charles Cooley
Sociologist Charles Cooley is best known for his concept of "looking-glass self", the theory that self-image is formed largely by the messages we get from others, and an individual's interpretation of those messages. The three components to Cooley's looking glass self are (1) envisioning how one's self appears to others, (2) imagining what others must think of one's appearance, and (3) developing self-feeling, such as pride or shame, from one's understanding of these perceived judgments by others.

People who work with children and young people have responsibilities to safeguard and promote their welfare. This is an important responsibility and requires careful attention. It means being able to recognise when a child or young person is not achieving their developmental potential, or when their physical or mental health is impaired. It means recognising when a child is displaying risky or harmful behaviour, or is being neglected or abused. It also means being able to identify sources of help for them and their families. Sometimes more than one risk factor may be affecting a child or young person and it may be necessary to work with others to address them.
