LIFE IN THE PAST VS LIFE IN THE PRESENT

      Over the last century, there have been many significant changes in the way we live. Obviously, it is difficult to compare the life of ancient people and the life of the people living in the twenty-first century because so many changes have occurred. Even the changes that have occurred over the last ten years are amazing.
      To start with, in the past people had to work harder as they did not have tools and machines to make their work easier. Today, most of the difficult and dangerous work is done by computers and other powerful machines. In the past living conditions were not as comfortable as they are now. Besides, many people could not afford household appliances like a fridge or a vacuum cleaner because those used to be luxurious goods. Another difference between living now and in the past is the fact that nowadays education is accessible to everyone. In the past men were mainly the only ones educated and women were not allowed into public or private schools. Besides, nowadays it is much easier to find the educational materials and the information you need – thanks to the Internet. We are able to speak to a friend who is on the other corner of the world because we are connected 24/7. Nevertheless, people had better relationships with the neighbors in years gone by.
      All things considered, it is an obvious conclusion that life has changed significantly during the course of history. In some ways, it is definitely easier to live in the present. On the other hand, however, life now is much faster and stressful than it used to be in the past. The standard of living has definitely improved but it can be discussed whether the quality of our lives is also better.

Statement: Public schools allowed females and males to be educated in the same schools.

The BBC recently reported extensively on the rising and excessive use of deprivation of liberty (DoL) orders on vulnerable children. What was described is shocking and the stories they reported are heartbreaking. But this scandal is nothing new.

For many years, judges have been calling for urgent action to address the shortage of suitable care for children with significant mental health and behavioural needs, at the same time as they are being compelled to make DoL orders.

When a place for a child cannot be found in a secure children’s home, a mental health ward or some other regulated therapeutic setting – usually because their needs are too complex, or there are not enough beds available – the high court can use the power under its inherent jurisdiction to deprive a child of their liberty in an unregulated placement.

A deprivation of liberty order is a draconian measure only ever intended to be used as a last resort. They have now become the norm. That they are being used in such numbers – 1,368 applications were made in 2023 – is a sad reflection of the catastrophic failure to provide suitable care for children with complex needs. Government has failed to address the dire lack of suitable provision in any meaningful and effective manner.
