Correct me if I am wrong but I do not think this has anything to do with going from say 1371 to 1391. This has all to do with this script control feature on older clients vs newer clients. Older servers will not support script control because this is a new feature. Older clients will receive the script control policy and throw it away because it does not know about this new feature. When the client auto-updates to a newer build that supports script control it needs a refresh of that policy to enable it.

D1/D2/A1 This piece of work will be focusing on a child aged 18 months starting a nursery day care setting. The two key issues that will be looked at in this assignment will be planning, preparing and reviewing for the child to settling into the setting. Secondly I will be looking into the child’s emotional support that the child may need when starting the setting, along with the attachments of the child that will need to be built or have already been put in place. When planning for a child to start a new setting there will be certain things that will need to be taken into consideration, for example; the child at hand may have never been separated from their primary carers beforehand.
Many people are supported in their homes by people who work along side the health and social care service such as social workers,nursers ,doctor and care givers or they may get support from their family members and friends. An elderly person may choose to stay in their own homes instead of a residential care home while seeking help and support from others,however this can lead to potential opportunities for abuse happening to the person who Is being looked after. When an individual is getting support at home by a carer, the individual being cared for is vulnerable and defenseless and therefor this makes them a target for abuse,another example is abuse by strangers,when an elderly person lives alone they are at risk of people calling at the door and then gaining access to their homes,they may steal items from them or mistreat them or cause intimidation. A person who is vulnerable and living alone are at risk of physical and sexual because there is no one there to stop this abuse from happening.

Recent surveys taken in our county have shown that Latinos, Hispanics, blacks, and Asian Americans are twice as likely to have a higher occurrence of chronic conditions and poorer health outcomes, when compared with other groups of people in our community. According to health researchers, cancer has increased by 10% higher among African Americans in the county.

Encouragement of active lifestyles by implementing walking and biking trails can aid families to prevent diabetes risk. Free diabetes screening at grocery stores and public locations such as libraries can help detect diabetes early. More importantly, these residents need to be provided of these healthcare screenings so that they may attend. Another idea would be incorporating health screening buses that comes to community weekly. A way to announce these screening whether in person or on buses would be through post card mailings, the news, and even social media.
