Assignment 013- Understand Partnership Working in Services for Children and Young People Task A Why is it important for children and young people that you work in partnership with the following people/groups? Parents, carers and guardians This partnership is very important because parents or carers need to trust the nursery and staff that work there. They will expect the best quality of care for their child. Partnering well with the parent or carer of the child will increase good communication including sharing important information regarding the child needs, wants and development. Building trust with parents or carers will result in them knowing that the nursery is a very good place for their child as it offers a great amount of help and support, which is especially important for new parents or carers.
052: 2.1 Explain the importance of reflective practice in continuously improving the quality of your service Reflective practice is important because it ensures that continuous high standards are being kept as circumstances change. To continually adapt and improve, approaches can benefit the children within our care. It can help to develop and grow skills which will enable the highest standard of care. Looking after children is an ever changing role and needs constantly updating to match the child's needs. We can better meet a child's needs by constantly reflecting and improving the service we provide.

The term ‘looked after’ was introduced by the children act 1989. So looked after children refers to young people under the age of 18 who live away from their parents or families and may be supervised and accommodated by the local council children’s services in agreement, at request or in the absence of their parent/families. A looked after child may be accommodated for many reasons; they don’t have a responsible caring adult to look after them permanently. They are being cared for away from home because of a court order or they are placed for adoption but they haven’t yet been legally adopted by their permanent family. Looked after children may be placed with other carers like extended family, or foster carers depending on the young person’s circumstances.

Children depend on adults (who also are as healthy as possible) to make healthy choices for them and to teach them to make healthy choices for themselves. Teaching: Children benefit most when their teachers have high levels of formal education and specialized early childhood professional preparation. Families: Young children’s learning and development are integrally connected to their families. Consequently, to support and promote children’s optimal learning and development, programs need to recognize the primacy of children’s families, establish relationships with families based on mutual trust and respect, support and involve families in their children’s educational growth, and invite families to fully participate in the program. Community: As part of the fabric of children’s communities, an effective program establishes and maintains reciprocal relationships with agencies and institutions that can support it in achieving its goals for the curriculum, health promotion, children’s transitions, inclusion, and diversity.
Every Child Matters (2004) is from the children Act (2006) and is based around five expectations. “The programs goal is that every child has the support they need to stay safe, be healthy, enjoy and achieve, make a positive contribution and create economic wellbeing” (Tassoni P, 2007, p16). These support children by helping to provide a safe and healthy environment for them to grow up in and by insuring that all children are treat equally as adults follow the same guidelines for each child. This relates to my setting because we have two children who can only leave with their mothers and it also allows our SEN children to feel involved in all activities. ECM is important as it protects children from discrimination and harm.
