Working closely with parents I believe that it is important to work closely with parents as partners in their child’s care and early education. This is important so that we all get a picture of the whole child and what they can do at home as well as during their time in different settings. Parents are the experts on their children and therefore, regular communication between parents and me is of the upmost importance. This can be done at a suitable time, either at drop off or pick up, over the phone or by email, depending on the parent’s needs. When parents and practitioners work together, it has been shown to improve children's cognitive, social and emotional outcomes.
Eymp4 1.1 Explain how the range of early years settings reflect the scope and purpose of the sector The values and principles of the early years sector is to keep a child safe and healthy and to care for them in every way possible. The parents like this because then they are getting feedback from the practitioner at the end of the day and can join in with the practitioners at the work place. Principles • The welfare of the child and young person is paramount • Workers contribute to children's care, learning and development and safeguarding and this is reflected in every aspect of practice and service provision • Workers work with parents and families who are partners in the care, learning and development and safeguarding of their children, recognising they are the child's first and most enduring carers and educators. Values • The needs, rights and views of the child are at the center of all practice and provision • Individuality, difference and diversity are valued and celebrated • Equality of opportunity and anti-discriminatory practice are actively promoted • Children's health and well-being are actively promoted • Children's personal and physical safety is safeguarded, whilst allowing for risk and challenge as appropriate to the capabilities of the child • Self-esteem and resilience are recognised as essential to every child's development • Confidentiality and agreements about confidential information are respected as appropriate unless a child's protection and well-being are at stake • Professional knowledge, skills and values are shared appropriately in order to enrich the experience of children more widely • Best practice requires a continuous search for improvement and self-awareness of how workers are perceived by others. .

This organisation displays multiple strengths such as, media coverage, links with Docs services, structured systems put into place, LAC record keeping system which is sufficient in attaining records of the life experiences of each child and their advocacy role heightened for each child and family (Orr, 2008). Another strong point is that this service is one of few services that aspires for the restoration of the child with their biological family, the family of the child is always kept up to date and can in most cases have access to their child on a regular basis, they aim to keep the child’s lifestyle as close as possible to how it would be if they were at home whilst they are in out of home care (Social policy research centre, 2003). This includes keeping the same schools or pre-school they attend and utilising a tutor if needed. Siblings of each child are kept together whilst in care to minimise trauma, this also assists in keeping their time in care as normal to their previous lifestyle as possible, and provides comfort to the children (National framework for projecting
Principles of support includes managing or minimising the way conditions limit individuals’ lives as well as what they can do to feel happy and fulfiled to make the most of their lives despite the condition. According to the HM Government 2007 the principles are consistent with the seven outcomes expected from adult care services set out in ‘Putting People First’ that people,irrespective of illness or disability, are supported to: - live independently - stay healthy and recover quickly from illness - exercise maximum control over their own life and where appropriate the lives of their family members - sustain a family unit which avoids children being required to take on inappropriate caring roles - participate as active and equal citizens, both economically and socially - have the best possible quality of life, irrespective of illness or disability - retain maximum dignity and respect. These outcomes will be used to structure goal-setting for health, social care and related activity in Local Area Agreements. Common principles are: Principle 1 – Ensure individuals are able to make informed choices
Residential care homes may are not always a permanent fixture for young people but rather staff will either try and reunite service users with their families if and when it is acceptable or to look at foster/adoption opportunities on behalf of the individual. These homes will have a supportive team who will make sure that the needs children such as to be fed, clothes and granted an education will be met. Day Care Day care centres are where individuals can spend a few hours a week. Day care be used by both young and old people. Examples of what Day care centres offer include activities to improve personal skills, social groups, tea parties and also free nutritious meals.
To offer and also guide them through emotional periods of their life. Ultimately whilst doing the above Duty of Care my main aim is to prepare the young person to move on to independence or fostering etc safely, securely and happily. 2) Duty of Care safeguards young people by each young person having boundaries and guidelines to which we follow along with their own risk assessments catered especially for them, these have been put in place because of historical movements of the young person. This safeguards both the young person, care giver and colleagues and young person’s family and the general public as these young people are taught and learnt to live in a safe and caring environment and sometimes to learn to change their behaviour habits to show respect for all concerned. E.g.
For me, this confirmed Care as my chosen career path as I felt a great sense of pride and accomplishment from being able to help someone to live as normal life as possible, despite their afflictions. I knew that I wanted to help others in this way too. Before going on maternity leave in Oct 2011, I was a support worker for elderly service users affected by Dementia in a nursing home environment. I thoroughly enjoyed learning to communicate effectively in different ways, talking to service users and their families about their lives and previous experiences, and generally helping to create a positive and safe atmosphere to live in. In the future, I aspire to complete this level 2 Apprenticeship, followed by a level 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care, along with an A level in Biology, which will hopefully allow me to apply at Southampton University to study a Nursing Degree and become a Registered Nurse.
A strong family unit creates a safe, positive and supportive place for all members to thrive. They are able to utilize resources and to live together in a fairly healthy manner. The adults in a strong family set the tone. They are good role models that lead by example. They reach out to friends and community and teach their children the importance of doing the same -- and that becomes part of who the children are.
