In professional relationships practitioners have the responsibility to follow the laws and legislation; they can do this by following setting policies and procedures. Practitioners should maintain and respect the principles of confidentiality. They must ensure the child’s safety and development is paramount, and be committed to meeting the needs of the children. They should also respect the parents and children, and their views. Understanding the importance of teamwork is also essential as practitioners should be able to communicate effectively with parents and other team members and professionals.
When in practice, practitioners should develop relationships with parents and generally understand their responsibilities. They should allow children the chance to make their own choices, but be there to give them guidance. Children should also be supervised at all times.
Practitioners share responsibility to meet the needs of the children and create a sense of belonging. Practitioner’s weaknesses and strengths should be balanced. They should be positive role models and work alongside each other to help the children benefit from the services and equipment being provided to them.

They also have written policies or procedures. An informal group is one which consists of your family and friends, people who you choose to associate yourself with, and do not have any policies and procedures, nor does it have any aims.
The norms of working in a group are that you have shared values and shared behaviours, and if everyone shared these norms in a working environment it would make your job a lot easier. Working
