Barriers to Effective Communication Language Barriers. Obviously, communication between people who do not speak the same language is a barrier. Even when communicating in the same language, accents and the terminology used may act as a barrier if it is not fully understood by the receiver. For example, a message that includes a lot of specialist jargon, abbreviations and/or regional expressions will not be understood by the receiver who is not familiar with the terminology used. It is also important to note that body language plays a large role in communication and may become a barrier, depending on a person’s perception.
1.3 Explain how distress may affect the way an individual communicates. All individuals may react differently when feeling distressed. Some may become quiet, and not want to talk or make eye contact with you. Others may become angrier, and do all the talking in the conversation, and they may begin shouting.

Unit 28 – Introduction to Autism 1. Individual's with autism may experience different types of difficulty with language and communication.

Some of the symptoms of distress are mumbled/garbled speech or stammering, anxiety, anger, aggressive body language and concentrating problems. These are barriers that impact on effective communication, leading to misunderstanding on both sides.

Individuals who are distressed will not be able to concentrate properly or focus fully, therefore their communication skills will be negatively affected. Whenever an individual becomes distressed they may experience the sense of "self" being compromised, as in low self esteem, effective communication may suffer as an individual feels withdrawn or stressed.
This makes it difficult to make a clear and effective communication between two people, because the service user might not understand what you are saying and would not response to any of your questions and this will make it harder to help them. Mental health conditions- There could be lots of service users who might have mental problems or with whom the health and social care workers have to work with. Mental disabilities can be a big problem as the communication level in minimum could be very little because of the person’s inability to understand others mentally. Blindness- It could possibly be a barrier for two people to communicate as the other person might not be able to see you or the way that you’re trying to approach him/her like, by watching your body language or

A sense of humor appears irrelevant but sometimes a little joke with the team can go a long way. What is your personal philosophy of leadership? The leader must be part of the team he or she is leading. Leaders have to listen to the team’s opinions and ideas and analyze the situation prior to make any decision because the leader’s decisions affect the entire team as well as each of the team members. The leader must always think about the most good for the most people while still working toward a common goal.
In this essay, i am going to explain the role of supportive relationships in reducing the risk of abuse and neglect, discussa range of ways in which practitioners build relationships and promote the rights of people using services in order to minimise the risk of abuse taking place.
