Homework has always been a topic of debate among educators, parents, and students.

Some argue
that it is necessary for reinforcing learning and developing important skills, while others believe it is
a burden and takes away from valuable family time. Regardless of personal opinions, homework is
an integral part of the education system and is required by law in many countries.

In the United Kingdom, the Department for Education has issued statutory guidance on homework
for schools to follow. This guidance outlines the expectations for homework and provides
recommendations for schools to ensure it is effective and beneficial for students.

What is Homework?
The guidance defines homework as \"any work or activities which pupils are asked to do outside
lesson time, either on their own or with the support of parents or carers\". This can include tasks such
as reading, writing, research, and problem-solving. The purpose of homework is to extend learning
beyond the classroom and help students develop essential skills such as time management,
independent learning, and critical thinking.

Expectations for Schools

The guidance states that schools should have a clear homework policy in place, which is
communicated to parents and students. This policy should outline the purpose of homework, how
often it will be set, and how it will be marked and feedback given. Schools are also expected to
consider the workload of students and ensure that homework is manageable and appropriate for their
age and ability.

Recommendations for Effective Homework

The guidance provides recommendations for schools to ensure that homework is effective and
beneficial for students. These include setting clear and specific tasks, providing feedback and
support, and involving parents in the homework process. It is also recommended that homework is
varied and engaging, and that it is linked to classroom learning.

The Challenges of Homework

Despite the benefits of homework, it can be a challenging task for both students and teachers.
Students may struggle to balance homework with other commitments and may feel overwhelmed by
the workload. Teachers may also find it difficult to set and mark homework consistently, especially
with large class sizes and limited resources.

Ordering Homework Help

If you or your child are struggling with homework, there is always the option to seek help. Websites
like ⇒ StudyHub.vip ⇔ provide professional and reliable homework help services. Their team of
experienced writers can assist with various subjects and assignments, ensuring that the work is
completed to a high standard and on time. This can be a useful resource for busy students and
parents who want to ensure that homework is completed effectively without causing unnecessary
stress.

In conclusion, while homework may be a source of frustration for some, it is an essential part of the
education system and is required by law in many countries. By following the statutory guidance and
implementing effective strategies, schools can ensure that homework is a valuable learning
experience for students. And for those who need extra support, ordering homework help from
trusted websites can be a beneficial option.
Local authorities should not design systems that place a disproportionate reporting burden upon the
individual. The authority arranges for Mrs Pascal to meet a trusted brokerage organisation which
discusses her needs and arranges a contract with a care home on behalf of Mrs Pascal that she is very
happy with. In deciding whether to do this the local authority must have regard to what support the
adult carer is receiving under children’s legislation. Based on the equity available in her home
(?134,250, as set out in Case study 3 above), Lucille could afford her weekly deferral of ?454 for
around 5 years. The local authority should make sure that a person’s lack of confidence to take a lead
in the process should not limit the extent to which they can play an active role, if they wish to do so.
If the person’s loss of capacity to consent becomes prolonged, then the local authority should
consider making more formal arrangements for an authorised person to take over receipt of the direct
payments on that person’s behalf. This does not mean choosing the cheapest option; but the one
which delivers the outcomes desired for the best value. JHWSs can help health and care and support
services to be joined up with each other and with health-related services. Authorities can also decide
to meet needs that are not deemed to be eligible if they chose to do so. The local authority must
provide a written response to a report from an advocate which outlines concerns about how the local
authority has acted or what decision has been made or what outcome is proposed. The authority
should take account of information standards published by the Information Standards Board for
Health and Social Care under the provisions of the Health and Social Care Act 2012. If it is decided
that they have eligible needs for care and support, the person’s ordinary residence will be in the place
where they moved to and not the first authority (for further information on self-funders, see annex
H, paras. 21-23). This also extends to shared lives, supported living and extra care housing settings.
The process must involve the person needing care and also the carer where feasible, and
consideration must be given whether to involve an independent advocate who local authorities are
required to supply in the circumstances specified in the Act. However, if this does not satisfy the
adult, or if the adult simply chooses to complain directly to the local authority, the local authority will
remain responsible for addressing the complaint. Her father receives a direct payment, which he
used to pay a family member for a period of time to give his daughter a break from her caring role.
The circumstances and payment amount should be decided and agreed with the person requiring care
and support, the family member, local authority and any other person (for example, advocate), with
the local authority taking steps to ensure all parties agree. A number of assessments could be carried
out on the same person, for example a care and support needs assessment, health assessment and
continuing healthcare assessments. Statistics Make data-driven decisions to drive reader engagement,
subscriptions, and campaigns. In such circumstances the property must not be taken into account.
Some local authorities include one-off payments within the direct payment to cover these factors.
Lynette appears to be generally happy around the house and when going out, but is very distressed
when she sees Fred in person, or even when she sees a picture of him. If the person is requesting a
top-up, it is important that the local authority discusses what might happen to any top-up requested
if the person reaches the equity limit and moves on to local authority support in paying for their care,
and ensures that a written agreement is in place (see Annex A: Choice of accommodation and
additional payments). So, this means the discharge notice must be issued no later than Wednesday.
However, if the person was not ordinarily resident in any area immediately before detention, the local
authority responsible will be where the person is resident or where they have been discharged (for
example, the local authority responsible for the prison to which the person has been discharged). This
might be advantageous to the person as they would be contributing more to the costs of their care
from their income, and consequently reducing the amount they are deferring (and accruing less debt
to their local authority overall). This should help to facilitate a prompt response that would help to
maintain continuity of care for the people affected. The college has also indicated that that they will
need up to a year to plan for her start. A person could be offered a DPA if they are receiving care in a
care home or are renting an extra care property, and the person has a form of security adequate to
cover the DPA (usually a property). Registered social workers and occupational therapists can
provide important support and may be involved in complex assessments which indicate a wide range
of needs, risks and strengths that may require a coordinated response from a variety of statutory and
community services.
It provides guidance to local authorities on the exercise of those powers and the discharge of those
duties. If the adult is thought to be refusing intervention on the grounds of duress then action must
be taken. As part of that, the local authority must provide the person with a personal budget, except
in cases or circumstances set out in the Care Act (Personal Budget) Regulations. Where appropriate,
needs should be articulated on an outcomes basis. To enable an accurate value for the savings
certificates the person must provide details of the. In cases where ordinary residence is not certain,
the local authority should meet the individual’s needs first, and then resolve the question of ordinary
residence subsequently. By virtue of transitional provisions, section 39 does not have effect in
relation to a person who, immediately before the relevant date in relation to that person, is being
provided with —. This is crucial in ensuring that those in need of care and support achieve the
outcomes that matter to them, and that will support them to live as independently as possible at the
end of their detention. This would include both domiciliary and residential care. This will ensure that
the local authority receives views from everyone involved in the direct payment, so that it can satisfy
itself that there are no initial issues that require resolving. For example, people may often require
information and advice before they need to access care or support services, to consider what actions
they may take now to prevent or delay any need for care, or how they might plan to meet the cost of
future care needs. Supporting people to live as independently as possible, for as long as possible, is a
guiding principle of the Care Act. It will be the responsibility of the manager of the SAR to ensure
contact is made with the Chair of any parallel process in order to minimise avoidable duplication.
These duties apply whether or not business failure is at issue. Read report on The Financial Abuse of
Older People (PDF, 471KB). For example, it may not be possible for an offender to return to their
prior local authority area due to the history of their case and any risks associated with a return to that
area. Consideration should also be given to the accessibility needs of the local population. For further
information on people returning to England after living abroad, see Annex H, paras. 31-34 (British
citizens resuming permanent residence in England after a period abroad). Feeling anxious and lonely
has a significant impact on his wellbeing. The duty on the local authority therefore is to ensure that a
review occurs, and if needed, a revision follows this. Behaviour which amounts to abuse and neglect,
for example physical or sexual assault or rape, psychological abuse or hate crime, wilful neglect,
unlawful imprisonment, theft and fraud and certain forms of discrimination also often constitute
specific criminal offences under various pieces of legislation. They were very complimentary about
leadership and management and the pastoral care we provide. In these cases, responsibility for care
and support will pass to the NHS or new local authority, once the individual arrives at the new
location. For example, when the same external organisation carries out care and support planning, but
also provides the resulting care and support that is set out in the plan. SABs should agree Terms of
Reference for any SAR they arrange and these should be published and openly available. It also
applies to accommodation to which deeming provisions under the 1948 Act apply. Re-
commissioning and replacing services represents a particular challenge and should be carried out so
as to maintain quality and service delivery that supports the wellbeing of people who need care and
support and carers, and guards against the risk of a discontinuity of care and support for those
receiving services. Consider any scope to jointly commission some training with other partnerships,
such as the Community Safety Partnership. Once the asset is sold, the capital value to be taken into
account is the actual amount realised from the sale, minus any actual expenses of the sale. Read the
guidance on the Mental Capacity Act: making decisions for information.
A structure is a content-free way of organizing the interaction of students. Guidance on these issues
can be found on the HMRC website. These powers would only be exercised as a last resort. Janice
gave up work to care for her mother 5 years ago, and using her direct payment Sheena pays her
daughter for 8 hours per week for care and support, including helping her with personal care,
cooking meals and grocery shopping. GPs, in particular, are often well-placed to notice changes in an
adult that may indicate they are being abused or neglected. If the local authority or the relevant
partner decide not to co-operate with a request, then they must write to the other, setting out reasons
for not doing so. Local authorities must ensure that whatever way the personal budget is used, the
decision is recorded in the plan and the person is given as much flexibility and choice as is
reasonably practicable in how their needs are met. Local authorities should consider whether another
type of security could be provided if a person cannot secure their deferred payment agreement with
a charge on a property. It's like a masterclass to be explored at your own pace. Therefore, local
authorities should develop and maintain a policy setting out how they will charge people in settings
other than care homes. This is important so that authorities can articulate likely trends in needs and
signal to the market the likely future demand for different types of services for their market as a
whole, and understand the local business environment, to support effective commissioning. He needs
occasional personal care to remain living independently with dignity, and it is likely that these needs
will increase. Chapters 3 (Information and advice) and 12 (Direct payments) explain this in more
detail. An assessment should be made on a case by case basis. This should include consideration of
the need for an independent advocate in helping the person to weigh up their options (see chapter 7
on advocacy). When considering their options, the department would encourage LAs to have regard
to the need to act in the interests of good fiscal administration. Read report on The Financial Abuse
of Older People (PDF, 471KB). Local authorities may find helpful the guidance Supporting Local
Authority and SME Care Provider Innovation and Collaboration that was co-produced by the
Department of Health with ADASS and LGA, provider organisations and people with lived
experience. The local authority must make its own arrangements for dealing with complaints in
accordance with the 2009 regulations. In many situations the role of the local authority will be to
understand the circumstances of the person, understand their preferences and help them to access the
tailored information and advice that they need to make well-informed decisions. Whatever the
course of subsequent action, the professional concerned should record the concern, the adult’s views,
wishes, and any immediate action has taken and the reasons for those actions. This family support
helps Connor with his ongoing caring role. Dividing the ?3,850 by ?250 produces a figure of ?15.40.
When calculating tariff income, the amount is always rounded up. For example, considering whether
some aspects of the reviews can be commissioned jointly so as to reduce duplication of work for the
organisations involved. It is important to note that the court will only issue enforcement proceedings
at the request of the local authority. This placement was made on a short-term basis until a more
permanent solution for David could be found in a supported living type accommodation with his
own tenancy. She has lived in local authority B for around ten years, is well settled there and is
expected to continue to live there on a long term basis. This makes sure that all pupils have access to
external sources of information on the full range of education and training options. The threshold is
based on the impact a carer’s needs for support has on their wellbeing. The authority may become
aware that the child is carrying out a caring role through the assessment of the person needing care or
their carer, or informed through family members or a school.
Brian has very limited mobility, has frequent falls and has difficulty in remembering to take
medication and to eat. They should advise people of the ways to pay that others in similar
circumstances would usually consider and the range of information and advice they should be
considering to help make their decision. Whilst prisoners have restricted access to paid employment
and benefits (and earnings in prison are to be disregarded for the purposes of the financial
assessments), any capital assets, savings and pensions will need specific consideration as set out in
this chapter and relevant annexes. (For more information on prisons and approved premises see
Chapter 17). Ray thanks her and follows up in writing with the provisional date when the placement
will occur and details of the care provider identified. Services which support the best outcomes
which can be achieved should be provided where the built environment necessarily limits the type or
quality of care and support which can be provided. As time passed her house came in disrepair and
unhygienic as local youths began throw rubbish, including dog faeces into her front garden. The
person can then choose whether they wish to agree. A request for an assessment can be made on the
young person’s behalf by the professional responsible for their care in the Young Offenders’
Institution, Secure Children’s Home or Secure Training Centre. Strategic leadership within the senior
management team. This has created difficulties in ensuring people’s eligible needs are met. On the
one hand, if local authorities know there is a serious risk to the continued provision of a service, they
may consider not using that service temporarily or reassigning people using that service to an
alternative service. The purpose of the care and support planning process is to agree how a person’s
needs should be met, and therefore how the local authority will discharge its duty, or its power, to do
so. Consideration should be given to the best way of handling financial assessments, taking into
account the resources required. The paper from the Housing Learning and Improvement Network on
developing MPS for housing services may be helpful. I get help so that I am able to take part in the
safeguarding process to the extent to which I want. Where appropriate, local authorities should
signpost or refer people to national sources of information and advice where these are recognised as
the most useful source. Local authorities should make similar arrangements with any third parties that
agree to contribute towards these costs. There may be specific interventions for carers that prevent,
reduce or delay the need for carers’ support. Local authorities may wish to use this opportunity to
bring forward information from existing registers and update details, for example, to check if the
information on the register is still current, for example a person may have moved out of the area. If
the person cannot request this, then a copy should be given to the person’s advocate or appropriate
individual if this in the best interests of the person. Local authorities are expected to achieve
continuity of care by ensuring that the second authority has completed a needs assessment and
developed a care and support plan for the individual prior to the day of the move. The second
authority must also provide a written explanation if the adult’s or carer’s personal budget is different
to that provided by the first authority. In order to see these patterns it is important that information is
recorded and appropriately shared. In such situations, local authorities must consider how the carer’s
needs change as a result of the fluctuation in the needs of the person they are caring for. Where a
young person qualifies for advice and assistance under section 24 of the 1989 Act, the local authority
may be required to advise and befriend him or her. Complex RAS models of allocation may not
work for all client groups, especially where people have multiple complex needs, or where needs are
comparatively costly to meet, such as in the case of deaf-blind people. If so, support could come
from a carer, family member or friend or Mental Capacity Advocate, as she is aware lack of insight
does not necessarily determine lack of capacity. However, local authorities should take steps to
ensure that authorised parties co-operate with other partners, work in a way which supports
integration, and is consistent with their own responsibilities. Where a person’s resources are below
the lower capital limit of ?14,250 they will not need to contribute to the cost of their care and support
from their capital. Hilda suddenly loses her job and finds she unable to afford to live in her rented
flat.
If the person’s loss of capacity to consent becomes prolonged, then the local authority should
consider making more formal arrangements for an authorised person to take over receipt of the direct
payments on that person’s behalf. This includes GPs. It is employers’ and commissioners’ duty to set
these out clearly and reinforce regularly. Local authorities should have regard to guidance on
minimum fee levels necessary to provide this assurance, taking account of the local economic
environment. The combined plan should reflect the individual needs and circumstance for each
person involved, as well as any areas where a joint approach has been agreed to meet needs in a
more effective way. Ray asks whether a move to a care home near her son might be attractive. This
joint assessment would look at issues such as the possible impact on the daughter of supporting her
father while in full-time employment as well as the father’s isolation, ability to connect with others
or be an active citizen. Local authorities are encouraged to explore how they can make the most of
cost-effective partnership opportunities with national providers. Authorities must get a complete
picture of the carer’s level of need over an appropriate period. However, they should only use this
power after other reasonable alternatives for recovering the debt have been exhausted. They should
understand how they are going to be involved and their expectations should be managed
appropriately and sensitively. The plan and the resulting service should adapt to changing needs and
as a result of feedback and learning on what works best. Predictable schedules help homework run
more smoothly, foster a sense of reassuring order in students and help students better understand
expectations. Measures in place include the use of screens around the witness box, the use of live-
link or recorded evidence-in-chief and the use of an intermediary to help witnesses understand the
questions they are being asked and to give their answers accurately. Local authority B immediately
falls into dispute with local authority A over Geeta’s ordinary residence and which authority should
act as the supervisory body. His father Ken has been assessed as having eligible care and support
needs that are best met by moving into a care home. However, such flat rate costs must be set at a
level where they do not exceed the costs the local authority actually incurs. Local authorities should
be clear what information they expect from providers (for example, where there are allegations of
abuse, what action the provider is taking or has taken and what the outcome is) and where providers
are expected to call upon local authorities to lead a Section 42 enquiry (where the management of
the provider is implicated for instance), or to involve the CCG (for health matters) or police (for
example, in the case of potential crimes). But if Donna is in a specified type of accommodation as set
out in the 2014 Act and the accommodation regulations, for example shared lives scheme
accommodation, where her care and support needs can only be met whilst she is in a specified type
of accommodation, then she will be deemed to be ordinarily resident in the area in which she was
ordinarily resident immediately before she began to live in a specified type of accommodation, that
is to say, the area of local authority A. Financial recorded abuse can occur in isolation, but as research
has shown, where there are other forms of abuse, there is likely to be financial abuse occurring.
However, if the person does not yet reside in the care home when the care home applies for the
standard authorisation, they are not yet ordinarily resident in the area for local authority (B), despite
any imminent plans to move there. As the professional lead for social work, principal social workers
and senior healthcare safeguarding professionals should have a broad knowledge base on
safeguarding and making safeguarding personal and are confident in its application in their own and
others’ work. Determining ordinary residence at this stage should not lead to a delay in meeting
eligible needs - more guidance on ordinary residence can be found in chapter 19. This will provide
reassurance to all parties that the plan is working as intended, and will help to identify any teething
problems. In addition, where plans are combined with other plans (for example the plan of a carer, or
education, housing, and health and care plans which may be reviewed annually) the local authority
should be aware of the review arrangements with these other plans and seek to align reviews
together. For example, people should not be requested to duplicate information or have onerous
monitoring requirements placed upon them. The local authority must inform the NHS of the outcome
of its assessment and decisions. If the adult to whom the assessment relates has a complaint about
the way in which it was carried out, the adult might choose to take it up with the organisation in
question. However, it must be in writing, and local systems should be established to ensure that the
withdrawal notice provides sufficient information for both the NHS and local authority to be clear as
to which patient and assessment notice the withdrawal notice refers to, and the reason(s) as to why
the assessment notice is being withdrawn. Although the local authority has the lead role in making
enquiries, where criminal activity is suspected, then the early involvement of the police is likely to
have benefits in many cases. Local authorities should not make judgments based on preconceptions
about the person’s circumstances, but should in every case work to understand their individual needs
and goals. Local authorities should also accept reasonable requests from young people and their
families to review transition plans (see Chapter 13 for further on reviews of care plans).
