THE ROLE OF THE HEALTH & SOCIAL CARE WORKER NVQ UNIT 5 – ANSWER QUESTIONS 1, 2, 3, 4,5, 6. Q1. Explain three differences between a working relationship and a personal relationship. WORKING RELATIONSHIP: A working relationship is a relationship where I spend time with my coworker and client together at work, but I have little or no contact out of working hours. It’s strictly professional. Working relationship does not allow arguing, accepting differences, discussing interest and personal life’s problem between participants. It is established with colleagues, clients and other professionals and sharing information is limited. PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP: A personal relationship is one where my personal life and extra curricular activities and social life are involved. Personal relationship allow them cordially. It can establish with anyone and sharing information is unlimited. But also the basic difference between working relationship and personal relationship is the intimacy or the level of intimacy that people can show. In a personal relationship, one can be as sweet or rude as he can be depending upon his mood. However, working relationships are more formal, and people tend to behave in more or less same fashion all the time. Conversations in working relationships are more businesslike and mostly polite. On the other hand, personal relationship talks are as varied as the relation and one can see a wide spectrum of conversations in husband wife relationship. QUESTION 2. GIVE 2 EXAMPLES OF DIFFERENT WORKING RELATIONSHIPS IN A CARE SETTING. One relationship is with your team of integrated service providers.

Typically, this relationship is fairly formal and the meetings are routinely scheduled unless a problem arises.
