We are also very conscious about the way we speak i.e. tone and volume of our voice as well as how we use our body language. * It is good practise at my setting to feel and show empathy, sincerity, and above all to listen. * My settings policy is that the key worker is to communicate with the child and family to help design and deliver the best service and care for needs for that child and the family; that will in turn help build a rapport with the children, and their parents/carers, it is important for the keyworker to be respectful, have understanding, and be honest.
