...single most important change in the future must be the drawing of a clear line of accountability, from top to bottom, without doubt or ambiguity about who is responsible at every level for the well-being of vulnerable children.’ As a result, under the Children Act 2004, every local authority was required to enhance the arrangements for cooperation to safeguard children and young people and improve outcomes for them. This was to be achieved by integrating services around their needs. In creating Children’s Trusts, the aim was to improve the life chances of the most vulnerable children and young people by narrowing gaps in each of the five outcome areas identified in Every Child Matters. This was to be achieved by: focusing on prevention and early intervention through the early identification of additional need developing effective integrated working across agencies ensuring effective planning and joint commissioning of services. A Children’s Trust is not an entity in itself but comprises all the arrangements and partnerships between organisations that have a role in improving outcomes for children and young people. Organisations that are required to cooperate in the arrangements that are the ‘Children’s Trust’ are termed ‘statutory partners’ and include the services of the local authority, the primary care trust, the police, schools, further education and sixth-form colleges and Jobcentre Plus. Just as important are the non-statutory partners, for example, third sector organisations...

...disappointed with myself or others. I have acknowledged that, and it is something I am working on by trying not to over analyze everything and let life unfold the way it is going to unfold. My strengths are my ability to analyze problems, compassion, free will, and experience. When I do something, whether it is meeting new people, taking a new class, starting a job, or taking a hike, I always plan for the occasion and prepare myself for several outcomes and strive to obtain the outcome I desire. I find that taking the time to prepare myself I stay motivated and determined to succeed. My weaknesses are that I don’t always take the time to reflect on situations and don’t always ensure that my heart and head agree with the decisions I make. Going forward, I will take more time to reflect prior to coming to a decision and not put so much pressure on myself to control the outcome that I plan for. I have taken a great deal of knowledge from the assignment. It has made me reflect inward, and I understand that I set to high of standards for certain outcomes. In conclusion, I will continue to handle every situation in my life with integrity, respect, a positive attitude, trust, confidence, and...

For a company, ethics of employees are important, for example, to avoid for employing wrong employees who will embezzling company’s fund or who are commercial espionage. Thus, module of ethics indeed enhance student’s employability as student will learn about the expected behaviour and attitude of conducts, i.e. honesty and loyalty, represent one’s trustworthiness on work.

Hence, the employees with concept of ethics will enhance their reliable and trustable for the company to assign work, and then, enhance their employability.

Because, what the company wants from employees nowadays is to work smart, to achieve good outcome with effectiveness and efficiency. Drucker, P. F.

...Two children with the same name, both born in the same city and raised by single mothers, have completely different lives just by the outcomes of the choices they make. In The Other Wes Moore, written by Wes Moore himself in 2010, the author Wes ends up as a decorated combat veteran and Rhodes Scholar, while the other Wes serves a life sentence in prison for murder. While Baltimore is the similar hometown for both Wes Moores, the outcomes each experienced in the end exemplify the importance of choice making. The institutions and interpersonal relationships one encounters, for better or for worse, have a very influential role in the choices they make. The author Wes Moore reluctantly goes to Valley Forge after being forced by his mother, Joy. While Wes ultimately did not make this choice himself, the Military Academy sets the beginning guidelines for a prestigious and disciplined life ahead. However, the choice to work hard and eventually become the most respected student at Valley Forge was an outcome of his own choice to succeed. When Wes went to the pizza parlor with Dalio and experienced the drunken kids that threw a bottle at Wes’s face, Wes’s decision to not react and fight back was a test of his maturity. Instead of reacting in a violent way, he looked out for his friend’s safety and led him back via another safer route. In contrast, the other Wes Moore makes the continuous decision to be a part of the drug game. After getting caught up in the game’s mishaps several...

...produces the results that it does. Outcome based evaluations are used to monitor the outcomes of a program, which helps decide if the program was useful and beneficial, or a failure. Process based evaluations are used to evaluate the way a program achieves its goals. It doesn’t evaluate the outcomes themselves, just the way the program does things in order to achieve those outcomes in a successful way for the clients. One form of process evaluation is staff recruitment, hiring, and training. These things will be documented to ensure this part of the program process is efficient. Without proper staff, the program would not have much of a chance. Another example of process evaluation comes in the form of “planning and development activity forms, meeting agendas and minutes, and participatory observation.” (Yuen/Terao, 2003) These things will be used to monitor program development, problems encountered, and solutions to the problems. Outcome based evaluations are used as a way to verify that the program is performing the right actions to produce the right outcomes, or benefits, for the clients. This kind of evaluation can be done by evaluating (through surveys, interviews, etc.) people that have gone completed or participated in the program and comparing their answers and results with people who have not been through the program, or with those that have been through a different program that was similar. Another way to do an outcome based evaluation would be to do a simple...

...MUHAMMAD AMIR HAMZAH BIN MOHD ARIS 4141005251 PMS 3293 CHANGE MANAGEMENT SOME WORDS OF CAUTION 1. Expect some unanticipated outcomes : Although there is a link between action and outcome is very controllable and predictable, there are likely to be some unanticipated consequences reinforcing outcomes and counteracting outcomes. 2. Be alert to measurement limitations : Assessing success of innovative practices is an inherently complex and ambiguous challenge, and that is why it is required to be wholly and watchfully studied and researched. 3. Don’t declare victory too soon : Do not declare the victory too soon because the result can be changed, but we can celebrate a win. As one said “Declaring the war won can sometimes be catastrophic”. 4. Beware of escalation of commitment : Escalation means intensification, and there are four factors that can lead to escalation, and these include :- (a) Project determinants, (b) Psychological determinants, (c) Social determinants, and (d) Organizational determinants. Seven practices that can help reduce escalation : (A) Don’t ignore negative feedback or external pressure. (B) Hire an external assessor to provide an independent view on progress. (C) Don’t be afraid to withhold further resources/funding; as well as limiting losses, it has symbolic value in that it is a fairly emphatic signal that there is concern with progress. (D) Look for opportunities to redefine the problem and thereby generate...

...Group work can seem like a daunting task, particularly in an asynchronous environment in which communication occurs primarily online or, at a distance. Even if you are enrolled in a course that meets weekly, conflicting schedules can make it difficult to arrange outside meetings with your group members. However, with proper planning and clear communications, teams can work effectively and efficiently with little or no face-to-face contact. Achieving good outcomes requires that individuals with different strengths, weaknesses, and perspectives come together to arrive at consensus. Several tools have been created to help your group get started, get organized, and stay on task. With these tools and tips, you will find that working as a team of educated professionals is not only more efficient but more rewarding as well.

...set goals for the next upcoming week. In this situation you are affecting the client because you are billing for time that has not been used and you have nothing to back that time up because during this time you were not working with the patient. The client is receiving "free services" today so you would not only be affecting the company, but you yourself have lied about time that you have not done and you are billing the patient for their "free service." The conflicted values and areas of agreement are being broken because you have a commitment to the company that the time that you bill for is time that you have actually been working or doing actual therapy with the patient. As far as the outcomes for this situation, you are going to get paid for the time that you bill but the negative outcome is that you have not been honest and you are at risk at being audited. Also if someone were to find out then they could file a complaint on you and you could risk your license to practice. The patient is being billed for "free services" so they are being negatively impacted. If this were to happen to me I would talk with whoever is over me to see if possible to see another patient before Thursday and if not then I would just be honest about the situation and work harder the next work week! I would definitely not take a chance at losing my license to practice therapy over 1 unit when I could just be honest and know that going forward I am going to have to try and work as much as possible for...

By performing an impact assessment it aids in providing accurate diagnosis relating to the definition of risk as outlined by the operation plan, what may occur. The impact of the risk on the operational plan and its projected outcomes, what is the rating of the risk, how will it manifest itself and how damaging will it be to the plan if it eventuates. Coupled with a series of alternatives, recognitions and formulated responses to the risks the information is fed back into the process and forms the contingency plan. This information can be collated in the form of a matrix; the information can then be measured for weight, possibility of outcome, severity of impact and presented with formulated recommendations for risk minimisation or alternatives.
