1.1 Explain why positive relationships with children and young people are important and how these are built and maintained. When working with children and young people it is important for them to feel relaxed within the environment and the people they come in to contact with; this promotes a child’s ability and enables positive development. We are required within our job to build relationships rather quickly while maintaining the professional boundaries. Children and young people who have a positive relationship with a practitioner are more likely to display positive behaviour, and have confidence enabling them to communicate successfully. When children who are in a nursery setting feel comfortable with staff it becomes easier for them to separate with their parents and engage in activities and play.
Person-centred care sees patients as equal partners in planning, developing and accessing care to make sure it is most appropriate for their needs. It involves putting patients and their families at the heart of all decisions. Person-centred care aims to be user focused, promote independence and autonomy, provide choice and control and be based on a collaborative team philosophy. It takes into account service users' needs and views and builds relationships with family members. Person-centred care involves: • Compassion, dignity and respect – these are the essential foundation for the greater involvement of people in their own care.
This makes the children feel safe, happy and secure during their time at school. Teachers play a critical role in creating a positive environment for children as children look up to teachers as a role model and expect them to create and environment which they can feel relaxed and happy in. The physical appearance of an environment is also important for creating a positive environment. If the room creates a happy atmosphere the children will be more likely to work and enjoy their time at school. A way to make the classroom seem a happier atmosphere is to decorate it as if it was a room at home; you can do this by using bright coloured paint on the walls such as red, green, yellow and blue.
We want to work productively and well together as a team for the benefit of the children we wish to inspire and to create the right decisions for all those involved. In terms of the parents, they must be seen as an extension to the schooling environment and therefore as partners in the process of our children's
1a. Understand how to plan and provide environments and services that support children and young people's health and safety. Describe the factors to take into account when planning healthy and safe indoor and outdoor environments and services. Every child has a right to feel safe, secure and protected from harm. One of the main responsibilities as a learning support practitioner is to help those pupils with whom we work with accomplish this.
By doing this you are creating a good example for pupils who will therefore learn from you on how to communicate positively with others. When communicating successfully with parents and staff you are then more likely to work as a team to ensure that pupils will be able to gain maximum benefit from learning, which is the ultimate goal as a teaching assistant. 1.2) Explain the principles of relationship building with children, young people and adults. In order to build good relationships with others it is important to have a warm, friendly and caring attitude to others. Others need to feel relaxed and comfortable in your company and feel as if they can bring up any concerns they have.
This applies to the way the parents feel about us too, perhaps they will be more open to discussion as they will feel valued and welcome. Good working relationships will enable staff to rely on each other to pull together and help the nursery reach its highest potential. K3C155 – The relevant legal requirements which cover the way I relate to and interact with children include The Children’s Act 2004. This act was designed with guiding principles in mind for the care and support of children. These are: • To allow children to be healthy • Allow children to remain safe in their environments • Help children to enjoy life • Assist children in their quest to succeed • Help make a positive contribution to the lives of children • Help achieve economic stability for our children’s futures.
1.1 Effective communication is important in developing positive relationships with children and adults in order to gather information and pass it on effectively and accurately. It is important to establish positive communication to gain trust. Children who see adults communicating with each other and other children in a positive manner are more likely to learn positive and effective communication skills themselves. For example, it is important to check what we are saying or how we are acting and in times of stress or excitement, and display conversations, mannerisms, body language and behaviour that we expect from the children. Effective communication with parents ensures that they are confident in the school and their child’s learning, which in turn is passed on to the child.
Supporting people to access their rights and support their choices, encouraging and promoting independence to each individual. Ensuring people have privacy if they want it, treating people with dignity and respect. 1.2 Person-centred values must influence all aspects of social care work. The Human Rights Act 1998 makes it a law that health and social care should be based on person-centred values. Having person-centred guidelines provides anti-discrimination practice and helps promote to each individual to their individual needs, their right to equal opportunities, independence, choice, dignity and safety.
Throughout the EYFS we are encouraged to put this into practice and to make sure that our practice is inclusive. Inclusion is an important part of any organisation dealing with the well-being of children, ensuring that the children are accepted as part of the setting. Working with other agencies to ensure this
