ABRAHAM MASLOW
pyramid p121
'theory of development based on a hierarchy of needs
'
have to meet most basic needs at base of pyramid before a child will look to attain secondary needs
UNIVERSAL SERVICES
free or government subsidies
available to all =no stigma
far reaching
TARGETED SERVICES
specific needs
via referral or assessment
often treated within school or home
think of it as additional help
SPECIALIST SERVICES
complex/severe need
at hospital or other specialised unit
LOOKED AFTER CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE
what we called
'in care'
educational outcomes lower than peers
emotionally they suffer
Many historical cases have come to light in recent years of horrific abuse. More stringent vetting of staff and policies these days are hopefully stopping this. p131.
looked after children require and receive 'specialist' services but they also receive and benefit from universal and targeted services!
assessment and care planning vital (Leverett)
all chapter 6!!

Is this 'nature and nurture' again but rebranded??
everyone has a different balance of characteristics that can make them more vulnerable or res and we all meet with varying levels of adversity verses protection.
