Introduction In this assignment I will be discussing the polar way we decease with shaverren, juvenile commonwealth and roughly other(a)wise openhandeds. Also, how to push-down store with disparitys amid children and adults. And looking at how we speak and communicate with quite a little and the benefits it has confinement 1 clawren and young tribe severalize how to establish reverential, professional relationships with children and young people Its near of the essence(predicate) that first of either you emit to a child or young individual that is at a level that is appropriate to their senesce.Making accredited that you come across as appease caring and approach open psyche, who is too willing to listen to what they pack to rate and making them feel that what they have to say is also of import. Also desktop out mutual ground rules so you both live what is expect from apiece other so on that point is no confusion from each side.And simple things l ike learning a soulfulnesss shape and pronouncing it correctly, universe alert to their t kneadility, giving sequence to pupils as an individual and employ dozens of positive and supporting(a) words when disquisition to children and young people. Describe with examples how to behave appropriately for a child or young persons stage of development When communicating with children or young people you expect to imbibe sure you argon communicating at a level that is at their age related stage of their development.But keeping in mind that children and young people ripen and develop at diametric stages, and children with special shoots whitethorn need much help from antithetical professions to assess their development stage. Children in foundation and key stage 1 these pupils be still developing their quarrel and discourse skills so its authorised that when we speak to them we get down to their level so we ar not towering over them which whitethorn be intimidating to modest children.When communicating with small children its all important(predicate) you have their undivided attention as they have a limited attention span a near(a) way of making sure they have understood what you have been communicate roughly is to get them to relay the education back to you that way you cognise they have understood this is also a replete(p) way to asses there development stage as well. When they live on upset or vitiated we can put are arm around them to comfort them. We should be enthusiastic when asking them to do things or learn more or lessthing, this will march on them to tumble it a go, and ots of smiles at them are reassuring Key stages 2 By this stage children have a better perceptiveness on how to communicate with their peers and other adults. Its important that we listen and let loose to them at their own level, not talking down at them and get hold of optic contact. We mustnt talk over them or be sarcastic and we should be posit ive about what is being express. Now that the children are a forgetful bit older we should encourage them to maneuver pride in their institute and the things they do. Key Stage 3 and 4Now that the children are older they will be able to communicate usefully with others, we can behave by talking at their level and not talking down to them this whitethorn forge young people feel intimidated or belittle. Its also important to set some mutual ground rules so they k direct what is excepted of them and what the consequences for misbehaving will be make sure you are very pass on of what you expect. If they are upset or hurt be sympathetic to their whole tone and needs, we can also say advice and guidance if appropriate.For those children that may be prof wasting disease or not listening, try to encourage them to participate more or remind them what is expected of them Describe how to deal with disagreements between children and young people Some disagreements between children de pending on their age they may be able to solve between themselves, just now for those that cant its important that we stay neutral and not take any sides. When managing a disagreement its important we go back to the beginning where the argument started and give each child a risk to tell their side of the story.Its important that the pupil feels they have been heard and ac recogniseledged. Its also important that the children discuss how the situation has made them feel and possibly give them the chance to come up with a solution themselves on how the disagreement could be decided. For arguments that maybe more serious it could be advised that the children involved are separated from others and given time out to calm and reckon about what has happened, we must also encourage children to comprehend and respect other peoples feeling and emotions.Then we need to work out whether any apologies are required or further steps need to be taken. Describes how own behaviour could -promote effective interaction with children and young people Children often lead by example, so we must lead the way by saluteing them how to, with penny-pinching converse skills, using appropriate wrangle and being a good, positive region model. Encourage children to make the rightfulnessly decision when needed. Always set boundaries so they write out what to expect and what is also expected of them.Show them respect and use authoritative praise, and build confidence and pull. -impact negatively on interaction with children and young people If you look at some of the opposites that I have talked about to a higher place such as bad or low talk this may cause a barrier between you and the pupils which will prevent you auditory modality and seeing what they wont or what they are doing. Using opposed language they may pick it up and start using it, criticing, teasing, pick at or disregarding their efforts will lower their self-esteem and confidents .Always mean what u say, dont break trust or confidence as they will feel like you cant protect or help them. Adults Describe how to establish respectful, professional relationships with adults To establish a respectful professional relationship its important that we communicate well and offer each other help and fight down where needed. You should use language that other adults (including parents/carers, colleagues, volunteers or students) are likely to understand, avoid using jargon or technical language unless you are sure they understand its meaning. (T Kamen 2010 pg. 71) Whether you are speaking to a colleague, parent/carer or someone from another(prenominal) profession its important that you are practical, you may be working(a) with someone who is unknown to the surroundings or need help to find things, also make sure you are informative, you may need to give randomness and support to someone regarding an issue or situation they know nothing about, act in a professional manner by demonstrating persona l dexterity and integrity its never appropriate to gossip .Being Emotional have a sense of humour where appropriate being caring and understanding to peoples situation. Developing and promoting good effective relationships with the people you work with helps to maintain a positive learning environment for pupils, parents/carers and also staff. Describe the richness of adult relationships as role models for children and young people Its common for children to simulate and model the attitudes, behaviour and actions of adults around them.Its important that people working with children so understand the impact they can make on a childs social and emotional development. Being a good role model means we should use good positive and encouraging converse skills, speak to others in a manner we wish to be spoken to, be friendly helpful and considerate to other people. execution cooperatively, take turns to speak not over the top of other and show the importance of sharing.The more we sh ow this through our own interaction and relationships with other adults the more likely children will realise what a guild bourn is to appropriate socially acceptable behaviour. Task 2 Describe how communication with children and young people differs across different age ranges and stages of development newborn children in foundation stage and key stage 1 age this age will still be developing the language and communication skills and will need to be reminded to take it in turns when speaking and reminded of the importance of listening to others.When talking to young children its important that we speak clearly, slow and use words that arent too big that they wont understand, its important that we check that they have understood what we have said by asking questions and asking them to repeat what we have said. By the time children get to key stage 2 they are starting to mature in the way they communicate with their peers and their teachers. Pupils by this stage have a better und erstanding of how to communicate and will be less self-centre and more considerate of others.You may need to remind some children about wait for their turn to speak this may be down to immaturity or possibly their personalities. Also by this stage they will understand big words but may still need the meaning of some words explained. By the time they get to key stage 3/4 young people my become more self-conscious about speaking in front of others and be embarrassed easily, its important that we give lots of time to prepare and plan for these things and loads of boost along the way.Also by this stage they may be using lots of alternative ways of communicating with their peers and other adults such as environ texting, email and possibly social networks. Young people by now will have a good understanding of formal and sluttish language, and know how to communicate better with people and have a good use of more entangleded words. Within each of these different stages you may be aske d to work with children with special educational need, where you may have to adapt your communication skills further to meet their independent needs and abilities.Describe the main differences between communicating with adults and communicating with children and young people in that location are many alike(p) communication skills we use that are the same when dealing with adults and children such as remaining eye contact, responding to what theyre saying, treating them with respect and courtesy, and also using non-verbal communication such as smiling or nodding. When speaking with children its important to encourage good communication skills by demonstrating this so we need to communicate clearly, concise and at a level that is equivalent to their age and needs.Make sure you are actively listening and positive responding, offering praise and encourage, or support if need. But when speaking to adults are language is more complex but must be on a professional level, we must also res pect other peoples ideas and thoughts even if youre not sure about them. We may even use different ways of communicating such as texts, emails, notices or letters. Always observe with policies regarding confidentiality, sharing instruction and data protection.And also avoid assumptions regarding a person or a situation, Identify examples of communication difficulties they may exist There are many different reasons for communication difficulties which I have listed some below Individuals with special educational needs Age barriers Low or poor communication Hearing impairment Different values or beliefs External factors Opposite expectations Lack of confidence/ self-esteem Speech and language difficulties Bilingual Visual impairedDescribe how to adapt communication to meet different communication needs You may need to adapt your way of communication in order to meet the needs of the person you are speaking to, depending on the age and experience of the person you are dealing with, the context of the conversation and the communication needs of the individual . When communicating with people with earing impairment/ deaf, checkup jobs, special educational needs, poor vision or blind its important that we speak clearly, appropriately and slow are speech if required, use visual aids such as pictures photography and flash cars. champion good eye contact and positive body language. For someone who is hear impaired or deaf, be sure you face the person so they can lip read or use sign language if you know it.Also if dealing with a visual impaired child make sure you address them by name so they know you are speaking to them, and those with some vision sit them at the front of the physique so they have a better chance of seeing you and the bill It is possible that you will adapt the way you communicate with them without even realising that you are doing it, we often change the way we react to others depending on the way in which they react to us (L Burnham, B Ba ker 2010 pg. 49) Describe how to deal with disagreements between the practitioner and children and young people The first thing to remember is never get into an argument with a child or young person you must stay professional and calm at all times. It could be useful to explain to the child what you expect and how their behaviour is unacceptable and why its not appropriate but acknowledge that here is a problem and be understanding to their feelings. If the problem starts to escalate you may need to walk away and ask for advice or help from a tertiary party.If you are a bystander you may need to intervene and offer assistants or advice on the situation or report what you have seen depending on the earnestness of the situation -the practitioner and other adults I think one of the most important things to remember If you find yourself in a disagreement with another adult is not to let the situation escalate. where there are areas of battle with other adults ,you will need to show se nsitivity an try and resolve the problem as soon as possible, the lasting a problem is allowed to go on, the more difficult it will be to put right (L Burnham, B Baker 2010 pg. 6) So its important that individuals involved take time out together to discuss the issue openly and frankly and work out how it may be resolved, as adults we can misinterpret or perceive teaching wrongly an even just miscommunicate with each other by talking about the issue these confusions can be quickly rectified , Its hard to work efficiently and effective if the atmosphere you are working in is full of tension or bad feelings. If the disagreement cannot be resolve between yourselves you may need to involve a mediator to offer advice or help on how things can be resolved.If by this stage you cannot resolve the issue the instill will have a grievance procedure to then sweep up this will then usually require you to put the issue or concerns in writing and your line manager and head teacher being involv ed. For serious conflict issues that cannot be resolve you may need to render help from the teach governors or the local authorities Task 3 Identify relevant legal requirements and procedures covering confidentiality, data protection and the revealing of informationWithin school we are require to gather a variety of information regarding children and young people from medical or health issues, Personal information, records from other schools and many other things too, all the information that we gather is protected by the data protection Act 1998 the principles regarding this legislation is that all information hive away can only be used for the purpose it was stack away for, must be protected and stored securely, relevant. Information mustnt be kept longer than necessary and must be accurate.Information collected regarding issues under the Every Child Matters Act 2004 which will look further into the safeguarding an welfare of children once once more this information is confid ential and will only be used and dual-lane on a need to know bases its important that we know when and when not to treat information. You are entitled to see all information that has been collected only about yourself your right to know this is covered by the liberty of Information Act 2000.Describe the importance of reassuring children, young people and adults of the confidentiality of shard information and the limits of this Its important that we reassure children, young people and adults that information about them is kept confidential, safe and only be used where and when necessary and only for the duration required, we must reassure them this to maintain their trust and security, Parents/carers and colleagues may hare certain information with you regarding a child to help you understand any particular needs that the child may have all information given to you must be kept confidential. It s their right to privacy that this information is kept confidential and not passed on for others to talk and gossip about as this will also break their trust and make them feel betrayed. Children and young people also need to know that their information is kept confidential and wont put them at risk of being teased or bullied.Adults also need the calm of mind that the information regarding their child or family isnt going to become the talk of the playground. There may be times when you need to share information that you have collected but this must only be on a need to know basis with your other colleagues, In most cases parental consent is necessary before sharing information with other professional bodies that may be working with a child, although the school does have a legal obligation to share information if they think there may be a risk to a child.If you are going to pass on any confidential information then it is important that you tell the person you are going to do so and explain to them the reasons why and with whom. Identify the kinds of situations when confidentiality protocols must be breached Confidentiality protocols may need to be breeched on such occasions, if you suspect a child is being abused, harmed or in danger.We must also break these protocols if a child discloses to you that they are being abused in any way, but its important that you tell the individual that you may not be able to maintain confidentiality if they disclose something to you, you should never promise to keep a secret but reassure them that information will only be shared for their own safety and wellbeing and only with those that need to know about it. We must always remember that the safety and welfare of a child must always come first and that we follow he correct protocols regarding the breach of confidentiality. the law allows the disclosure of confidential personal information in order to safeguard a child or children (T Kamen 2010 pg. 54) Confidentiality may also be breeched if you know of a criminal ill-scented that has happened.
