CACHE Level 3 Unit 5 "The Principles underpinning the role of the practitoner working with chidren" Assignment
E1
Practitioners, when handling professional relationships, have the responsibility to put the needs and right of the children and their families first, and to follow confidentiality principles. Practitioners must demonstrate reliability and accountability by respecting the choices and freedoms of other people. “Showing responsibility and accountability involves doing willingly what you have been asked to do, if this is in your area of responsibility.” Beaver et al (2008 page 202). Practitioners have the responsibility to continue refresher training throughout their careers working with children and their families so they have a clear understanding of relevant legislations and codes of practice and how to apply the organisations policies and procedures to this. Also to appropriately plan, do, record and review activities and ensure equality and diversity of all children are taken into consideration for this. E4
When reflective practice is developed within a setting it benefits by being able to identify strengths and weaknesses from each practitioner. By discovering which practitioners are stronger at doing certain things than other this will develop practice because, for example, if one practitioner has outstanding art and craft skills then practice will be more effective if they are the ones in charge of craft activities with the children or even planning wall displays for the children’s work. When practitioners in the setting develop their reflective practice they will review the planning cycle after activities to reflect on how successful it was and whilst reviewing the progress it will be clear if any practitioner may have any training needs that could help improve practice further. This also gives the practitioners the opportunity to increase their skills and develop professionally. D1
Reflective practice is important for my own performance because it allows me to see what I need to improve on to make my performance better and give better
