Legal Terms -child safety order
a Family Court ruling that gives local authorities the power to step in when a youngster under the age of ten misbehaves or disrupts the peace and cannot be charged with a crime due to his age. The Crime and Disorder Act of 1998 instituted the order. A local authority may request an order if it believes the kid has engaged in behavior that would be considered criminal activity if the child were older or if the behavior has caused or is likely to cause harassment, alarm, or distress. The court will decide what the terms of the order are, but they could include things like going to school, staying away from older and unruly kids, and not going to places like malls while you're alone. The conditions are in place either to guarantee that the kid receives the right care, protection, and assistance and is under proper supervision, or to stop the kind of behavior that resulted in the child safety order being issued from happening again.

Legal Terms - child who is physically abused
a child who is intentionally harmed physically by a parent, stepparent, or any live person in any way, such as by beating, kicking, shaking, burning, etc. If the other parent (or caregiver) files for a *non-molestation order under the Family Law Act of 1996, the kid may be protected—but only if the child resides with the applicant or may reasonably be expected to do so. With the court's approval, a minor may also request a non-molestation order. Under the Children Act 1989, a local authority may apply for a *supervision order, *care order, or *emergency protection order where a child is experiencing, or is likely to experience, serious damage. These orders are also applicable for children experiencing non-physical types of abuse (such as emotional or psychological abuse) where the *threshold criteria are met.

Legal Terms -child support maintenance
The amount that must be contributed to the maintenance of a *qualifying kid by a non-resident parent, meaning that parent does not live with the child in question. The amount payable is currently determined by calculating the following percentages of the non-resident parent's gross weekly income when their income is £200 or more: 12%, 16%, and 19%, respectively, for one qualified kid, two qualifying children, and three or more qualifying children. There is a weekly cap of £800 on this. The amount payable decreases to 9%, 12%, or 15% for weekly income beyond £800 but less than £3,000 in cases where the non-resident parent's gross income exceeds £800. If a non-resident parent has additional "relevant children" (children for whom he or his partner receives child benefit), these amounts are lowered. If the non-resident parent's income is over £100 but less than £200, a lower rate is due. A flat rate of £5 is due in cases where the non-resident earns £100 or less, or if they, their partner, or both, get specified benefits or a pension.
The evaluation, collection, and enforcement of child support payments were transferred from the courts to the Child Support Agency (CSA) under the terms of the Child Support Act of 1991. In 2008, these duties were given to a new organization called the Child Maintenance and Enforcement Commission (CMEC), and in 2012, the Child Maintenance Service took over. Generally speaking, a parent seeking maintenance for their child must turn to the statutory maintenance service; however, in some circumstances, such as when the child is disabled or needs money for schooling, the courts have the authority to award maintenance. It is now recommended that parents make "family-based arrangements" prior to using the statutory service. The statutory body has broad enforcement authority; for instance, it can order that money be taken out of employees' paychecks.

Legal Terms -stewardship of the Chiltern Hundred
an appointment that prevents its holder from being eligible to serve in the House of Commons as a nominal office of profit under the Crown. A member cannot legally resign from his seat, thus although though the appointment has been a sinecure since the 18th century, it has been kept as a disqualifying post to allow members to quit during the term of a Parliament. The member resigns from office to allow the stewardship to be utilized again after receiving it (the application is never turned down).
The stewardship of the Manor of Northstead serves as a second office with the same function. Current legislation pertaining to these two positions can be found in the House of Commons Disqualification Act of 1975.

Legal Terms – Church of England
Church of England the established Church in England, the head of which is the sovereign. From a structural perspective, the Church is made up of the two provinces, York and Canterbury, which are further subdivided into dioceses and parishes. Every province has an archbishop (with Canterbury's being the Primate of All England and York's being the Primate of England), and every diocese has a bishop. A suffragan bishop serves a diocesan or archbishop rather than holding a diocese of their own. The House of Lords is composed of senior bishops and the archbishops.
The General Synod, formerly known as the Church Assembly before being renamed and reorganized by the Synodical Government Measure 1969, is the governing body of the Church. Its three houses—the House of Bishops, the House of Clergy, and the House of Laity—have legislative authority. A measure that has been approved by both houses and received royal assent after each house's decision has the same legal effect as an act of parliament. In addition, there are diocesan synods; some issues need to be agreed by the majority of these before they may be approved by the General Synod. Dioceses synods may assign responsibilities to area synods, which are authorized by the Dioceses Measure 1978 to reorganize diocesan structures.
