| | The Children Act 1989 Simplified |
 | | A Care Order is made by the court (under Section 31(1)(a) of the Children Act), placing the child in the care of a designated local authority, with parental responsibility being shared between the parents and the local authority. | | | Under the Act all possible efforts are made to resolve problems by voluntary means, court orders only being sought if they will be of positive benefit to the child. | | | It is the people with parental responsibility who have the legal authority with respect to their child; they are the decision makers who must be consulted. |

| | The Children Act 1989: Summary |
| | There are also provisions in the Act for the Courts to deal with situations in which children are, or may be, at risk of significant harm, and it will be possible for Social Services to seek, through the Courts, orders for Assessment (including medical examinations) and Care and Supervision orders. | | | Applications for orders under the Children Act 1989 are made on standard forms available from the Court Service website. | | | The Children Act 1989 is based upon the belief that children are generally best looked after within the family, with both parents playing a full part and without resort to legal proceedings. |

| | The FCC Gives Teeth to the Children's Television Act of 1990 |
| | Because of the imprecision in defining the scope of a broadcaster's obligation under the Children's Television Act, FCC rules have led to a variation in compliance efforts and confusion for concerned parents. | | | The significance of over-the-air television for children is reinforced by the fact that fewer children have access to cable television than to over-the-air television. | | | The program must also be identified as educational and informational for children when it is aired and must be listed in the children's programming report placed in the broadcaster's public inspection file. |
