Unit 5 – The principles underpinning the role of the practitioner working with children.
E1: Describe the responsibility of the practitioner in professional relationships
Practitioners have many responsibilities in professional relationships with children, families, colleagues and other professionals. Some of these responsibilities are to make people feel that they can trust them. It is important to be a good role model for children and to make sure that they feel comfortable telling you things. Practitioners need to make every child feel important, safe and that they are listened to by you. Families need to feel like their child is with someone who is going to value and help the child as much as they can. It is important to show families that they are respected by giving them time to talk about any concerns. Practitioners need to ensure that everything is confidential in the setting and only shared with people who need to know. Relationships between colleagues need to include a lot of teamwork, support and respect for each other. Other professionals are very important in every setting. Practitioners need to have a trusting relationship with other professionals to ensure that the information discussed is kept confidential.
E2: Discuss TWO (2) issues which contribute to maintaining professional relationships with children and adults
One issue which contributes to maintaining professional relationships is confidentiality. This is because children and adults need to be able to trust you with the information you know about them and know that you would only share it with relevant people for example, parents, staff, ofsted and other agencies involved with that child. This contributes to maintaining professional relationships because if children trust you they will be more comfortable telling you things. It contributes to maintaining professional relationships with adults because they will trust you and will be able to see that you are professional.
