Every Child Matters framework has had a wide ranging impact of provisions for children and young people nationally. As part of this and community cohesion, schools have been developing roles such as after school clubs and extended schools programmes, all of which are inspected by Ofsted. The school will also need to develop their own policies in line with the national requirements for such areas as child protection and safeguarding children. C) Explain the roles of other organisations working with children and young people and how these may impact on the work of school There are a large number of organisations that work with children and young people, so it makes sense that they should liaise with each other, sharing their knowledge and experience. They should develop links with each other for pupil support and community cohesion.
When working in a child care setting, practitioners sometimes obtain or come across a lot of information about the children and their families. They may hear about personal and sensitive information such as divorces, affairs, illnesses, money problems and these need to be handled very carefully. Balancing children’s rights to privacy with the need to work positively with their parents and carers, can be a difficult task for staff and volunteers working in the setting. Every setting should therefore have policies and procedures about information sharing and staff should be made aware of them. These should include policies relating to multi-agency working, managing transition from one setting to another as well as ensuring continuity of care

Defined roles also allow personal and organisational objectives to be met. Extensive research on teaching roles concludes that these differ greatly in various parts of the country and also differ depending on whether it is adult education, children’s education or special needs (Skills for Business, 2008). All teaching and learning organisations are also subject to legislation and professional standards which can be externally assessed and have to be met. In addition, there is a raft of legislation, standards and professional codes which require teachers to maintain and update their own knowledge and reflect and improve upon their practice (National Union of Teachers, 2012). It is therefore thought to be essential from an organisational, professional and personal point of view to fully understand the teacher roles and responsibilities (Department of Education 2013).
Promote Communication in children’s and young people’s settings I will be using my knowledge to identify and explain communication in children’s and young people’s settings, and how it can affect relationships in a work setting. I will be doing this using my notes from class and independent research. Identify different reasons why people communicate Some examples of communication are speaking, body language, eye contact and hand movements. These are examples of both verbal and non-verbal communication, 70% of messages are sent through non-verbal methods of communication. A reason why someone would need to communicate with another could be to give a message or instructions; this could be vital information which could have serious consequences if they are not given and received.
1.2 DESCRIBE WITH EXAMPLES HOW TO BEHAVE APPROPRIATELY FOR A CHILD OR YOUNG PERSON’S STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT? First impressions are important for everyone not only child but for parents and people we work with. Children of different age will need varying levels of attention; some may be more advanced than others. Children with “special needs” will need more help. When we work with infants at nursery to help them with basics vocabulary and numeracy we need to choose media that will help them understand.
Global and Diversity awareness are inter-related in our everyday lives throughout the world. The first example that comes to mind is how schools are now using text books, films and other study materials that show images of people from all walks of life. Seeing these images helps children learn from a young age that others are learning and growing just as they are even if in a different language or culture. This also helps to show that although someone may look different they are affected by similar if not the same circumstances. Another example is affirmative action.
Specific Population and the Advocate Role Gail Coash BSHS/442 September 12, 2011 Melinda Barker Specific Population and the Advocate Role There are many different populations within the world that need advocates.

Diversity in the United States November 15, 2012 ETH/125 There is a wide amount of diversity in the United States today. There are many different types of race, culture, religions, people with disabilities, and even the type of life style someone chooses. Diversity is something everyone should learn about, because this affects your work place, around where you live, and even in the schools. Things I have learned about diversity is that each group has many similarities and many differences. I have learn by embracing the differences of each group, I have learned how others live, new ways of thinking and have been introduced to many new cultures.
