Podcasts about Children Act

On this week's Education Gadfly Show podcast, Jon Valant —director of the Brown Center on Education Policy and a senior fellow in Governance Studies at Brookings—joins Mike to discuss his recent analysis of the federal tax credit scholarship initiative included in the Republican budget bill and its potential to open the door to waste, fraud, and discriminatory practices. Then, on the Research Minute, Adam shares a Belgian study comparing the cognitive and non-cognitive effects of work-based learning within different vocational education arrangements.Recommended content: “The Educational Choice for Children Act opens the door to waste, fraud, and abuse” —Jon Valant, Brookings Institution“Federal school choice skeptics are tilting at windmills” —Shaka Mitchell, for Thomas B.

Groundbreaking, school choice legislation called the Educational Choice for Children Act (ECCA) was included in the budget reconciliation bill passed by the U.S. House of Representatives on May 22. ECCA would establish a dollar-for-dollar federal tax credit for individual taxpayers who make voluntary donations to nonprofit, scholarship-granting organizations (SGOs). SGOs offer school choice to K-12 students through scholarships for tuition and other education expenses, including educational therapies for students with disabilities.ECCA doesn't create a new federal “program” or involve the U.S. Department of Education. Rather, taxpayers who donate voluntarily to nonprofit SGOs would receive tax credits offsetting those donations (up to a limit) when they filed their federal income taxes.The House version of ECCA limits the total tax credits that may be received by taxpayers nationwide to $5 billion per year, and the law would sunset after 2029. When ECCA is considered by the U.S. Senate this summer, it should be strengthened in important ways:• The House version included a provision that participating private schools must accommodate students with special education needs. This unfunded mandate would significantly limit the schools and education providers able to serve scholarship students. The Senate should remove this requirement.• The law's timeframe should be increased from five to ten years. This would help provide stability for scholarship students and a longer “runway” for the nonprofits that must raise money from donors.• It is vital that the Senate retain strong protections for private school autonomy and religious liberty. Schools serving scholarship students must be assured they can remain true to their mission, character, and academic standards. Effective school choice laws respect the independence and diversity of education providers.The Educational Choice for Children Act has the potential to empower individuals to expand school choice through voluntary giving. When parents can choose schools that are best for their children, students are more likely to have their individual learning needs met. ECCA could potentially help more than a million students across the country to have access to an effective, meaningful, and empowering education through private scholarships.

School choice continues to spark debate across the country, and Kentucky, as one of only two states without any form of school choice, stands at the center of it. Last year, voters rejected a measure aimed at expanding educational options, largely due to claims that such policies would harm public schools. But is that really the case? This week, we're joined by Greg Brock, Senior Advisor at the Federation for Children, to discuss what's at stake and why his organization is working to pass the Educational Choice for Children Act at the federal level.

This month we are joined by Sir Jonathan Cohen (now an arbitrator and private FDR Judge at 4PB) to discuss the last half century in family law.  Sir Jonathan tells us about how family law has changed over that time. He recalls the humiliation caused by all divorces being heard in public, and the seminal changes following the Children Act 1989 and White v White.  He also talks about how delayed the system has become, and the difficulty caused by the proliferation of cases without an equal increase in Judges.  Sir Jonathan does not accept the Law Commission concern that the law in respect of how a couple divide their finances is uncertain.  Like many of us, he believes it is certain if you know the detail of the law, the issue is litigants having access to that certainty and being able to find the information without having to comb through judgments and the internet. Sir Jonathan mentions Courtney Legal https://courtney.legal/team as helping provide this information.  We were blown away to hear Sir Jonathan say that in his personal view the justice system has under recognised the impact of domestic abuse in financial remedy cases.  Sir Jonathan refers to the report by KPMG of the impact of domestic abuse on earnings from 2019; ‘The workplace impact of domestic violence and abuse':https://newscentre.vodafone.co.uk/app/uploads/2019/11/KPMG-Domestic-Violence-and-Abuse-Report-Nov19-1-1-1.pdf Sir Jonathan tells us that in his view that there is unfinished business when it comes to transparency in financial remedy cases.  He tells us that reporters are welcomed into Courts now, but there is division as to whether it is right to have parties' names and the details of all their finances published.   Sir Jonathan says that he is not in favour of publishing the names of parties in financial remedy cases, unless their names and finances are already in the public domain or there is some other good reason. Sir Jonathan encourages all practitioners who are thinking about judicial appointment to apply for a part-time role to dip their toe in the water. He opines that if you are starting to mourn the bad results, more than you celebrate the good results, that is when you should be thinking about judicial appointment, and when you get to the stage of wanting to find the ‘right' result rather than a ‘win', that is when you should be thinking about full-time appointment.  He tells us he has thoroughly enjoyed being a full-time Judge.   It's a strong finish with Sir Jonathan saying Schedule 1 of the Children Act 1989 is no longer fit for purpose, and music to Resolution members' ears that the provision we make for unmarried parents is completely out-dated.

This episode is a strong start to the year.  It is essential listening for all professionals working with separating families.  We are joined by Jenny Beck KC (Beck Fitzgerald) , Dr Jamie Craig (Consultant Clinical Psychologist) and Zoe Fleetwood (Mills & Reeve) to discuss children that are reluctant, resistant or refusing to see the other parent, as well as parents engaging in psychological manipulation of their children by alienating behaviour. We examine the Family Justice Council guidance in this area. The report is both erudite and succient at only 30 pages long and should be read by everyone involved in this field:https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Family-Justice-Council-Guidance-on-responding-to-allegations-of-alienating-behaviour-2024-1-1.pdf Zoe reminds of what has happened in the last 10 years to lead us here from PD12J, to the presumption in favour of a parent's involvement which was inserted into the Children Act in 2014, LASPO which removed legal aid, the Domestic Abuse Act, Re HN , RE C [2023] EWHC 345 (Fam), Re S (Parental Alienation: Cult) : [2020] EWCA Civ 568 https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/re-s-a-child-judgment290420.pdf, the Harm report from 2020, and the Domestic Commissioner's Abuse Commissioners report of 2023https://domesticabusecommissioner.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/DAC_Family-Court-Report-_2023_Digital.pdf. Zoe concludes with the case of Re (Parental Alienation: Factual Findings) [2024] EWFC 75 which maybe an example of the Court starting to change coursehttps://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWFC/OJ/2024/75.html Jenny reminds us that there are three elements that a Court needs to find before concluding there have been alienating behaviours:There must actually be a child who is reluctant, refusing or resistant to engage in a relationship with a parent;That reluctant, refusal or resistant must be as a result of something other than appropriate justified rejection, or caused by alignment, affinity or attachment.It has to be as a result of other behaviours that has impacted the child and that has led to the child's reluctance, refusal or resistance.Jamie points out that the child's behaviour is not evidence of the adult's behaviour.  Nor is the absence of a reason for a child not to want to see the other parent proof that a child is alienating. The guidance reminds us that there is not a equivalence between domestic abuse and parental alienation.  The guidance also reminds us about the importance of the choosing appropriately qualified experts in complex family situations. Jamie warns us of the dangers of pseudo-science and the psychobabble.  He cautions against jumping to a conclusion that a child has been alienated if they are reluctant, refusing or resistant to the other parent.  For example, a child may just be exhibiting attachment response, or a child demonstrating an affinity for a particular parent, or they may have come to their own decision about how they have understood the situation. All of this is not to say that there are never occasions when parents have psychologically manipulated their children. We know that they do.  Indeed, sometimes perpetrators of abuse psychologically manipulate children to believe the other parent is a danger.  The point is that the burden of proof should not be reversed, and the Court approaching the case as if a parent has to prove they are not engaging in alienating behaviours. Zoe links back to when we last discussed this topic from March 2022; Finding the Middle Ground; Parental alienation and High conflict cases, with Dr Mark Berelowitz and Alex Verdan KC.https://resolution.org.uk/podcast/resolution-podcast-season-1/ Finally we ask our guests to wrestle with the question of what professionals should do if they have been involved in a case where the Court has relied on advice from an expert who lacked the appropriate qualifications, or has made recommendations based on what we do is pseudo-science.  Jenny suggests that if there has been an error in process then the professional or the Court may now need to engage with what is in the best interest of the child, therefore an appeal out of time maybe an appropriate step in some cases.  Please note that Jenny and Jamie were the Chairs of the Family Justice Council working group that wrote the guidance.  However, they appear on this episode in their personal capacity and were not speaking on behalf of the Council.

Part 2 of our dive into politics, and there's two big asks for cis people who truly want to help. But this might get uncomfortable, because we're going to talk about the way our political system operates in the United States, and that means realizing you can't wait for perfection or moral purity. Trans lives are on the line (as are so many others), and we must protect each other as best we can. And that sometimes means voting for someone you may not like.

This is the final episode in Season 3 and we wanted to finish with a bang! Nicholas Allen KC (29 Bedford Row) and Michael Allum (The International Family Law Group LLP) join us to talk about applications pursuant to Schedule 1 of the Children Act 1989.  Michael and Nick start by considering the line between payments that are properly for the benefit of the child and those which a court is likely to consider to be solely for the benefit of the parent (for example life insurance premiums or pension premiums).  Nick mentions the comments of Baroness Hale in a recent interview with Sam Hillas KC for the Financial Remedies Journal, where the Baroness says that Schedule 1 reminds her of the position before White v White for wives: https://financialremediesjournal.com/content/interview-with-baroness-hale.0a4bcf411d6346ba8dbdbdc4a9adb368.htm.   They go on to examine the difference between Schedule 1 cases and Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 cases. They talk about how the resources of the receiving party, or their new partner, are unlikely to weigh in the balance in the same way as they do under the MCA.  Michael highlights that there are no sharing or compensation claims under Schedule 1.  Michael tell us that to obtain provision after the child reaches their majority the Court is really considering whether there is a dependency, rather than a vulnerability.  Michael mentions UD v DN (Schedule 1, Children Act 1989; Capital Provision) [2022] 2 FLR 308 where the Court of Appeal allowed an appeal against Williams J's long-term property order in the children's favour.  He then talks about the exceptional case of TK v LK (Rev2) [2024] EWFC 71 (02 April 2024), https://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWFC/HCJ/2024/71.html where the Court made an order for the housing fund to remain with the child. But he says that is incredibly rare indeed, save for by consent.  Nick and Michael discuss the rare occasion when Schedule 1 claims can be brought after parties have been divorced and they reference PK v BC (Financial Remedies: Schedule 1) [2012] 2 FLR 1426, and MB v KB [2007] 2 FLR 586). We move on to a discussion of what constitutes a capital payment, and what expenses should be covered by way of maintenance.   We discuss the decision of Moor J considering an appeal against a series of lump sums made by Her Honour Judge Reardon in Stacey v McNicholas [2023] 2 FLR 321.  Nick points out that strictly speaking lump sums are for strictly one-off expenditure, not for day-to-day living expenses.   Michael discusses Dickson v Rennie [2015] 2 FLR 978, and that capital lump sums are not supposed to be used to top-up a CMS assessment. We talked about the fast-track procedure in the FPR 9.20 —(1) If the court is able to determine the application at the first hearing, it must do so unless it considers that there are good reasons not to do so.   Michael talks us through the development of the jurisprudence in respect of working out the appropriate level of top-up payments, through to the current formulation in James v Seymour [2024] 1 FLR 614 which applies unless you are considering a Household Expenditure Child Support Award, the ‘HECSA' as set out in Collardeau-Fuchs v Fuchs [2023] 2 FLR 345. We finish with Michael and Nick talking us through LSPO and the likelihood of costs awards.

Last week, the Supreme Court of the United States rejected Florida's plea to counter an order blocking a recent law barring minors from attending drag shows. Despite Florida's request for intervention coming as early as October, a significant grid of the high court upheld the decision to leave the order uninterrupted. This entire controversy began with Hamburger Mary's, a well-liked restaurant chain in Florida, taking legal action against the state last summer. Their contention was that the newly instituted 'Florida's Protection of Children Act' had an overreaching scope and impinged upon the First Amendment's guarantee of free speech. The aforementioned Protective Act, sanctioned by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in May, presented a foundational shift in the way the state's youth could interact with 'adult performances.' Precluding any knowing admission of a child to events of this nature became the law of the land in Florida. An interesting perspective that arises from this saga is the political angle: how do we interpret adult performances which, according to Governor DeSantis, tend to sexualize young children? Drawn into the controversy is the broad definition of the 'Protection of Children Act', which has implications for both the present and future legislations.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We all agree that costs applications, and costs orders, are becoming more prevalent in Children Act as well as financial remedy proceedings.  Public policy certainly seems to favour the use of costs orders as a way of ensuring that litigation is proportionate and reasonable.    In this episode we are assisted by HHJ Reardon (who sits in East London Family Court and the CFC hearing both Children Act and Financial Remedy cases) and Laura Moys (barrister at 1 KBW) talk us through costs orders in respect of Children Act and Financial Remedy cases.   We discuss LSPO including: ·      HHJ Reardon reminds us (in the context of ever increasing interest rates) of the provision in Rubin V Rubin that: viii) If a litigation loan is offered at a very high rate of interest it would be unlikely to be reasonable to expect the applicant to take it unless the respondent offered an undertaking to meet that interest, if the court later considered it just so to order. ·      What happens in second LSPO applications; and ·      LSPO in Children Act proceedings, including the need for equality of arms in accordance with BC v DE (Rev 1) [2016] EWHC 1806 (Fam) (21 July 2016). We look at Costs orders in Children Act cases, and are reminded of the dicta in Re S (a Child), Re [2015] UKSC 20 (25 March 2015).  They discuss when a Court may order costs after a fact-finding hearings and refer to Re T (Children), Re [2012] UKSC 36 (25 July 2012).  Finally we discuss costs in Financial remedy proceedings, including:·      the Court's approach to making orders that cover legal costs in needs cases.  Laura refers us to Azarmi-Movafagh v Bassiri-Dezfouli [2021] EWCA Civ 1184 (30 July 2021);·      When we should be dealing with costs arguments; and ·      General guidance about Wwhat is and is not reasonable, in order to consider what sort of positions may result in costs orders;·      We are reminded that the Court can make costs awards where a party has refused to negotiate; JB v DB [2020] EWHC 2301 (Fam) (23 July 2020);

Ian McEwan, newly appointed a Companion of Honour in the King's Birthday Honours List, is one of Britain's leading literary novelists. He won the Booker Prize for Amsterdam in 1998 and became internationally famous for Atonement. Black Dogs, On Chesil Beach, Saturday, The Children Act, Solar, Nutshell, Machines Like Me and his latest book, Lessons, punctuate the publishing landscape of the last 30 years. Here Ian talks intimately about his career as an author, his peripatetic childhood following his military father to Singapore, Libya and elsewhere, how he became an author, the point of the novel, the challenging themes in Lessons, growing older, and what it's like being asked to write or talk publicly about the major political events that unfold around us. This is a rare chance to hear one of the major novelists of recent decades offer insights into himself and his work. 

In this episode we speak to two keen advocates known for their appellate work; Chris Barnes and Joe Rainer.  Chris speaks about appeals in Children Act work and Joe speaks to financial remedy appeals.  We discuss how to evaluate the type of decision – is it an evaluative or discretionary decision, or is it a finding of fact and how this impact on your likelihood of success.  This is the speech of Mr Justice Mostyn about that:https://www.judiciary.uk/speech-by-mr-justice-mostyn-to-the-hong-kong-family-law-association/In the context of the discussion, Joe talks about the decision of HHJ Hess in SC - and -TC  [2022] EWFC 67 in respect of a pre-nup:https://caselaw.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ewfc/2022/67We also discuss the ability of the respondent to put in a written response to an appeal, pursuant to:Jolly v Jay & Anor [2002] EWCA Civ 277 (7th March, 2002)https://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2002/277.html Chris mentions that the current case law in respect of costs on appeal in Children Act cases is contained in Re S [2015] UKSC 20 and Re T [2012] UKSC 36https://www.bailii.org/uk/cases/UKSC/2015/20.htmlhttps://www.bailii.org/uk/cases/UKSC/2012/36.htmlPlus we cover when to file a notice of appeal, caulderbanks, when to participate in the permission stage, costs, and procedural issues. If you have an appeal, or a potential appeal on your desk, this is a really helpful episode.

Children with big emotions like things to go the way they imagine they will go. Sometimes this makes them seem like they're acting entitled -- like the world revolves around them and what they want. How do we help our kids deal with their big feelings when things DON'T go their way so they can become more resilient people…now and in the future? In this episode, you'll learn two reasons why children with big emotions may seem entitled or self-centered and practical actions we can take to address their long-term needs (instead of their short-term behavior). You'll also learn how using this Long Game strategy helps our children learn to handle a world that isn't always kind.  

In this episode we discuss the burgeoning jurisprudence around the impact of economic abuse on financial remedy cases with Olivia Piercy (Partner at Hunters Law) and Michael Horton KC (Coram Chambers). Olivia and Michael discuss the following cases in the episode:   Traharne v Limb [2022] EWFC 27  DP v EP (Conduct: Economic Abuse; Needs) [2023] EWFC 6  DN V UD (Schedule 1, Children Act 1989; Capital Provision) [2021] 2 FLR 497

In this week's episode, we focus on a group of dreamers in the U.S. who have lived in the country for most of their lives yet have no clear path to permanence or citizenship in the country. The episode's guest is Dip Patel, the founder of an organization called Improve the Dream which advocates for this group of young people known as “Documented Dreamers.” It turns out that many people do not know about the predicament and difficulties that Documented Dreamers face—their situation often flies under the radar and is often overshadowed by larger immigration debates in the U.S. Dip helps us disentangle why almost a quarter million young people who call America home face an uncertain future that hangs in the balance. Episode details: Understanding the journey of "documented dreamers," and Dip's personal journey as a documented dreamer The founding and mission of Improve the Dream The America's Children Act and immigration reform that would help documented dreamers Why we need comprehensive immigration reform that supports both undocumented and documented dreamers Specific challenges that documented dreamers face when it comes to attending college in the U.S. What Improve the Dream is doing to create change and how to help Episode Resources: Documented Dreamers: An overview Breakdown of dreamer populations Follow Improve the Dream Follow Dip Patel My book: America Calling: A Foreign Student in a Country of Possibility Sign up for America Calling: my take on the intersection of education, culture and migration Connect with me: LinkedIn, Twitter

Jon Schwepp from the American Principles Project explains what the Stop The Sexualization Of Children Act is and would do if passed into law. It's proposed in Congress with little chance of passing under the current makeup of Congress and calls for federal tax dollars from going to entities that promote sexual materials to children. This could include drag shows sponsored by schools or district-affiliated groups or held on school property. If passed, if could also address sexually-explicit books and other materials designed to promote any specific sexual behavior or lifestyle being made available to children through school libraries.

Lessons, Ian McEwan's new novel, works from an intimate perspective, but on an epic scale. We accompany Roland Baines at different moments of his life—military brat, baby boomer, failed poet, pubescent boarder, single father, lounge pianist for hire—as he lives and relives some of the experiences—both domestic and world-historical—that moulded him. But as the years go by, and Roland's sense of exactly how he was shaped and by whom changes, we readers come to understand how much our own apprehension of the past is tinted by our experience of the present.Buy Lessons here: https://www.shakespeareandcompany.com/product/7495498/mcewan-ian-lessons*SUBSCRIBE NOW FOR BONUS EPISODESLooking for Friends of Shakespeare and Company read Ulysses? https://podfollow.com/sandcoulyssesIf you want to spend even more time at Shakespeare and Company, you can now subscribe for regular bonus episodes and early access to Friends of Shakespeare and Company read Ulysses.Subscribe on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/sandcoSubscribe on Apple Podcasts here: https://podcasts.apple.com/fr/podcast/shakespeare-and-company-writers-books-and-paris/id1040121937?l=enAll money raised goes to supporting “Friends of Shakespeare and Company” the bookshop's non-profit, created to fund our noncommercial activities—from the upstairs reading library, to the writers-in-residence program, to our charitable collaborations, and our free events.*Ian McEwan is the critically acclaimed author of seventeen novels and two short story collections.
