Reflection on action is as described above where one contemplates in retrospect. Reflection is largely about self development t as it adds to your knowledge and also challenges beliefs and concepts that you may hold. Reflection is only effective if one follows through with action. 1.2 Analyse the rationale for reflective practice It is human nature that we generally learn from experience, once we have had and experience we naturally observe and reflect on it, through this we form concepts/beliefs and then we test this out in new situations, this goes round in circles each time our view/concepts are being changed as we experience new things. In this cycle self-observation and evaluation helps to understand one’s own actions and to refine one’s practice on an ongoing basis for the benefits of the communities being served.
Effective communication can affect relationships in an adult social care setting between individuals using the service. This is a fundamental way of building meaningful relationships between the carer and the service user. It is also a way of the service user expressing their needs and the carer/social worker to convey the service user’s options to them to ensure they are getting what they need from the service.

Reflecting on activities from work and also other places is a great way to develop the things that you know, and also discover what you don’t know, allowing you to set your mind on ways to develop your knowledge and fill in any gaps in your knowledge. Learning to properly reflect on what has happened is in the past is one of the most valuable personal skills, and it’s a way that an individual can develop themselves without the need for textbooks and training, merely learning not to repeat mistakes you’ve made, and recognizing actions as mistakes in the first place goes a long way to making a person more efficient at their job role. It’s important to access the skills you have, and also the skills you lack to know where improvement is needed, and knowing exactly what you want to learn is useful in reducing the time necessary in producing a new skill. Along with having knowledge and skills,
Principles of personal development in adult social care settings 1.1 Reflective practice is a process by which you stop and think about your practice, continually analyse your decision making and relate it to what you do in practice. Critical analysis and evaluation refocuses your thinking on your existing knowledge and helps generate new knowledge and ideas. As a result you may modify your actions, behaviour, treatments and learning needs. You should make time to write down your reflections as this process helps to clarify thoughts and it will also give written evidence to share with others at a later date. 1.2 Reflective practice is very important in improving the quality of the service provided.
