1.1 Explain why effective communication is important in developing positive relationships with children, young people and adults

Children will not only learn cognitive skills while at school, they need to learn how to work and play together, understanding each other’s boundaries, turn taking, different backgrounds and cultures.
In order to ensure children form positive relationships it is important for all teaching staff and volunteers that have contact with the children/young people that we act as good role models. By witnessing their peers interacting with other members of staff in a positive way will help influence them on how to treat their friends/peers/adults etc. Having a good relationship between adults; * Promotes good communication * Leads to a productive working environment * Gives the right message to children * Encourages co-operation

By having a good working relationship with all the people I work with creates a happy and welcoming atmosphere which forms a positive environment for the pupils.
