Unit 5-The principles underpinning the role of the Practitioner working with Children
E1
As a childcare worker it is important to develop professional relationships with children, families, colleagues and other professionals. One way I can develop a professional relationship with parents is to always be approachable, to listen to what they say, be honest with them and always keep them up to date with any changes. This gives them confidence to speak to me about any concerns they have. With children I would develop a professional relationship with them by meeting all their needs, providing adequate stimulation and ensuring I keep them safe by following all guidelines. One way I can develop a professional relationship with colleagues is by respecting. Listening, sharing information and most of all working as part of a team. With other professionals I would develop a relationship similar to the one with colleagues, as well as working with them, sharing all information, attending meetings and keeping my records up to date. This would be the same for various settings such as primary school, nursery or out of school club.
E2
One way that would help maintain professional relationships with parents and children is by effective communication. When speaking to parents and children you need to ensure your tone of voice, body language and facial expression are always right, depending on the type of conversation you are having. Sometime non-verbal communication is needed through letters, daily sheets and e-mails. Your non-verbal communication should be polite, clear and respectful. If we communicate with parents and children we get an holistic view of the child because you are getting lots of information on them. Also it shows parents and children that you care about them.
Keeping confidentiality helps to maintain a professional relationship with parents and children because they will know if they have to tell you something important you will keep this
