communication and partnership working 1

Identify the reasons and benefits for working in partnership:
There are lots of reasons why it is beneficial for practitioners to be working in partnership with parents, guardians and careers and other companies and one of these reasons is that it helps with meeting the care needs of the children. By working in partnership it also means that better outcomes for the children will be delivered because by passing on information about the child’s day to their parent/careers will let them know what they have been up to, what they like to eat and play with and give them chance to ask their key worker about any concerns they have or if they want any advice on anything for example when it comes to potty training they may want advice on that and by the key worker and the parent/career working in partnership together they can plan and achieve the best way possible for that child. By working in partnership with parents and careers is that you can get them to fill out an ‘all about me’ form for their child when starting at the nursery so that you can get to know that child as an individual, get to know their likes and dislikes, any allergies they have, any dietary requirements and what they enjoy doing. Not only will this mean that all that child’s needs, requirements and preference be met to the best that they can be but also will help when the child is going through a transition to either a new home, new school ect or when they are going through an unplanned transition or significant event. The role of a key person in a setting is to ensure that every child’s care needs are met and this includes meeting a child’s individual needs in relation to transitions and significant events that that child is going through. It is important that the key person works in partnership with every child’s parents/careers so that they are aware of any planned transitions that a child may be going through or about to go through and this is because the key person needs to support the child
