...That document was prefaced by the ECB giving its firm and enthusiastic commitment to ensuring cricket provides a safe, friendly and enjoyable experience for children. As the ECB’s Chief Executive I give a continuing commitment to that pledge. “Safe Hands” is reviewed and updated annually. Adopting and implementing “Safe Hands” remains a requirement of affiliation to the ECB, and the “Safe Hands” Safeguarding Programme continues to provide a core theme of the ECB club accreditation programme, ECB Clubmark. As the National Governing Body for cricket we take our responsibility for the well-being of the game extremely seriously. We want the millions of people throughout England and Wales who enjoy our national summer sport, across all ages and from a hugely diverse range of backgrounds, to have a positive experience, whatever their involvement. We also want to play our part in helping children achieve the best possible outcomes and we are confident of the important role sport can play in helping children be safe, healthy and involved in their communities. This Safeguarding Policy provides our sport with tools to ensure the whole game takes up the challenge of continuously improving the participation conditions for children. By participation, we mean not just playing the game, but being involved in their clubs, having their views listened to and being encouraged to take responsibility, with the help of the adults around them, for their own development as cricketers...

...Policies and procedures for safeguarding and child protection in England and Wales are the result of the Children Act 1989 and the Children Act 2004 which introduced further changes to the way the protection system was structured. The Children Act 1989 aimed to simplify the laws that protected children and young people. They were thought of as a serious shake up and made it clear to those who worked with children what their duties were and how they should work together in cases of child abuse in Working Together to Safeguard Children 1999. The tragic death of Victoria Climbie at the hands of her carers in 2000 highlighted the dysfunctional way in which services for children were happening. The Laming report of 2003 examined this and produced the green paper/policy Every child matters which in turn instigated extensions to the Children Act 1989 creating the Children Act 2004, all of which support the UNCRC's articles e.g. 19, 32, that give children the right to be protected from harm and to have protection procedures in place that enable care for a child that safeguards their well-being. The Children Act 2004 focuses on: • The integration of children’s services and the introduction of children’s directors with responsibility for local authority education and children’s social services. • Lead councillors for children’s services with political responsibility for local welfare. • The establishment of Local Safeguarding Children’s Boards (LSCB) with statutory powers to ensure...

...share in manufacturing. However, neglecting of protecting the environment while developing manufacturing has already resulted in lots of problems, such as the PM2.5 problem in many major cities, as well as the extreme lack of clean drinking water. On the other hand, concerns over global environmental issues, such as global warming, depletion of the ozone layer, deforestation, loss of biodiversity, trans-boundary movement of acid rain, and hazardous waste, etc., are mounting worldwide. About 25 years ago, a law named Environmental Protection Law of the People's Republic of China, which set out basic principles and directions for formulating environmental policies, was enacted on December 26, 1989. This Law was formulated for the purpose of protecting and improving people's environment and the ecological environment, preventing and controlling pollution and other public hazards, safeguarding human health and facilitating the development of socialist modernization. The law has stated that The state shall encourage the development of education in the science of environmental protection, strengthen the study and development of the science and technology of environmental protection, raise the scientific and technological level of environmental protection and popularize scientific knowledge of environmental protection. It also emphasized that all units and individuals shall have the obligation to protect the environment and shall have the right to report on or file charges against...

...of living to all, which can be possible only in a pollution free environment. Also, in a democratic republic, people have the right to know and access information on government policies which is very important for the success of environmental policies. The starting point of environmental protection is the fundamental rights and directive principles of state policy which underline our national commitment to protect and improve the environment. The interpretation given to article 21 of the Constitution contained in the Fundamental Rights has added new dimensions to the quality of life and its relating effect on the environment. The Constitution of India as originally enacted did not contain any specific provision to deal with environmental pollution though Article 47 made an indirect reference to improvement of public health as one of the primary duties of the state. Article 51 (c) provides that the state shall endeavour to foster respect for international law and treaty obligations in the dealings of organised peoples with one and another. Article 253 of the Constitution specifically empowers parliament to make any law for the whole or part of india for implementing any treaty, agreement or convention with any other country or any decision made at any international conference. This has been held in conformity with the 1972 UN conference on Human Environment at Stockholm and the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development Rio de Janeiro.

...SHOULD TAKE CONCERNING THE ENVIRONMENT PRESERVATION OR RESTORATION Name: Institution: Introduction It is the duty of all human beings to take care of the environment and should they destroy it then they will have no place to stay. According to Isaiah 45:18 “God formulated the universe so that it can be occupied.” There are alternate biblical notions as well as details that show the significance of the environment and the desire to safeguard and keep it running. Environment fortification has constantly been the key concern among many socialists, ecologists as well as scientist thought the universe. Everybody is looking towards the welfare as well as the need for safeguarding the environment. Thus, the progression and creation of technology has smashed the earth to the larger extent and how it is very vital to take actions against the features that are hazardous to the environment. Consequently, this is never perceived as the responsibility of religion to concern about nature as well as the environment. The novel thoughts of Christianity along with environment restoration and preservation have offered the novel aspect of thought and new rationale to consider the significance of saving the environment. Therefore, this is the most outstanding issue of uniting the impression concerning Christianity with the environment protection. The key query that...

...describe this information the author provides two companies used as examples to review the internal and external environment effects. The paper will also determine what competitive advantages each company has and what strategies each company is using. Before an organization can begin strategy formulation, it must scan the external environment to identify possible opportunities and threats and its internal environment for strengths and weaknesses. Environmental scanning is the monitoring, evaluation, and dissemination of information from the external and internal environments to key people within the corporation. A corporation uses this tool to avoid strategic surprise and to ensure its long-term health. Research has found a positive relationship between environmental scanning and profits (Wheelen & Hunger, 2010). Apple is the first company that serves as an example of a company committed to the protection of the environment. Their total footprint is created by 61% manufacturing, 5% transportation, 30% product use, 2% recycling, and 2% facilities. Apple reports environmental impact comprehensively. They do it by focusing on their products: what happens when they design them, what happens when they make them, and what happens when the customers take them home and use them. They know that the most significant thing they can do to decrease their impact on the environment is to improve their products’ environmental performance. That is why they design the products to utilize a smaller...

...cheaper prices too. However, tourism has also brought along many negative impacts, in terms of the economic aspect, cultural and social aspect, and most importantly in the environmental aspect too. As such, ecotourism has been brought into the problem to be tried as a feasible alternative to mass tourism. Ecotourism aims at safeguarding both natural and built environments, being sustainable and enabling local people to share in the economic and social benefits. Firstly, ecotourism helps to protect the environment and sustain it. With tourism, environmental impacts such as the destruction of the natural environment and wildlife habitat, such as in coastal, marine and inland areas, has occurred along with various other consequences such as the loss of ecosystems and pollution. These consequences have stemmed from mass global tourism that involves many tourists going to a single attraction. For example, overcrowding in America’s Yellowstone National Park has resulted in the environment being unable to sustain itself and become ecologically vulnerable. Some tourists, such as the ones who scale mountains, may leave rubbish behind and this causes damage to the environment in some ways too. Not only is it aesthetically unpleasing, land pollution will occur as a result of the rubbish...

...Most miners of the Amazon lead a very polluted way of life. They pollute the environment they live in and they pollute themselves. The, "garimpeiros" as the miners are called in Brazil are independent farmers of the gold that flows beneath the rivers of the Amazon rain-forest. Their daily routine of early mornings, long hard days, and late nights drinking and taking cocaine contribute to their way of life. Their only goal in life is to drill for the gold dust which seems to collect at the bottoms of waterfalls then use the profits for illegal self indulgences like cocaine. To extract this gold dust they must combine mercury with the dust, and because of the mercury’s chemical make-up it is able to extract the gold from the useless rock and debris. The mercury, however, isn’t the cleanest element for the environment. Many garimpeiros carelessly use the mercury then dump it into the rivers polluting the water and the food. Also, the dust from the mercury gets inhaled by the miners, contributing to their polluted way of life. All day dragas, which are boats used for mining the bottom of rivers, are pulled to locations where gold is thought to be found, moving and polluting. Then there is the common drug use among these farmers. To sum the garimpeiros’ way of life, they live a life of drinking and drugs, women and murder. So the polluted way of life is obvious, men poison the waters and the food and then ultimately themselves, with the illegal activities of the mining trade in Brazil...
