Help with unit 16 please!! - working in partnership
 

Hi everyone:question help:SOS help

I have been working through this Unit and then got bit confused by these questions, any help would be amazing thank you.

2.2 Explain the limitations of own role and responsibilities in relation to working in partnership

For this one I was thinking about the stuff we can not do and only managers can, but I've got no idea if thats on the right lines.

2.3 Analyse the importance of partnership working to:
• Meet the needs of children
This one I was thinking about sharing information ,you know more about the child so you know more about what they might need or what they enjoy doing, also about how it helps their development due to unified approach so parents and key worker working on same areas of learning

• Comply with legislation
Really struggling with this one but think working in partnership legislation would come in to it, due to the case study.

• Deliver better outcomes for children
And this one I'm confused because it sounds similar to meet the needs of children.

Thankyou very much any help will be greatly welcomed thanks!!!:SOS help:question help

Hi you are right this helps practitioners to see what their role allows and does not allow them to do in regards to working responsibilities.

1. Meeting the needs of children requires you to know what the needs are. Your role means you are a keyworker to a set number of children? This role means you work closely with a key child's parents (sharing information about needs)? You make frequent observations (how often?) that monitor the child's development and evaluate that infomration to identify needs?

2. Complying with legislation in your role as a level 3 practitioner would involve following the setting's policies and procedures and being aware of issues of confidentiality and data protection. You would be expected to report specific information through official lines?

3. Delivering better outcomes for children involves how you work with other professionals so that any advice & suggestions they have that would support a child can be used, for example in planning activities, organising daily routines.

You should be able to find information about all this in your job contract and saff handbook.
