2.1 - Explain why positive relationships with people involved in the care of children and young people are important
It is important for other people to have positive relationships with children because the child needs to gain trust with others too. The child will need to be able to work with teachers to enable them to achieve goals through their education; they also need to feel confident at the doctors in case they need wounds dressing, or an examination of some kind. It is important to have a positive relationship with the speech therapist because they may have a barrier with communication. This can lead to the child gaining the ability to communicate with others. They may be able to learn sign language or develop the use of PECS to a better degree which will enable them to get their needs met more effectively. In the longer term this can reduce anxiety levels and behaviours because they are able to make themselves understood more easily. It is also important for me to have a good relationship with other people too. We all have the child’s best interests at heart and want to do our best to give that child the best opportunities available to them. It is vital that we share appropriate information and value each others opinions. Observing professionals in their role can help a keyworker with their own approach giving them a fuller understanding for the reasoning behind certain activities aimed at the child to help them to progress, and give them greater learning opportunities you may otherwise have been unaware of. An example of this would be how the OT specialist at my workplace has helped child B. This child is 19 years old but has very stiff joints and many mobility problems as well as very limited self-help skills. Through my working closely with OT we have been able to help child B gain some independence in learning to feed himself. The OT lady has provided a special easy to ‘grip and hold’ spoon for me to use at breakfast time with child B....
