Unit 338

Hi everyone.

Have just started my level 3 and need help with unit 338. I have brought a book to help me but it doesn't cover this optional unit. Need help with what to include and the regulations.

Hiya and welcome

This looks an interesting unit: CCLD 338 Develop productive working relationships with colleagues

For research and information I'd look to Acas, business link, knowing the formation of your setting .. committee, private, coop and its aims for the group as a whole - setting, staff, parents, children, wider community.

How you feel about providing learning and play opportunities.

What productive means in the ability to produce - an idea, a feeling, a format, a poster, a document, a solution, a suggestion, a meeting time ..

See what places you could come into contact with other professionals/colleagues - in work, on case studies, meetings, conferences, training, online, social networking, in the local shop and the type of situations that can occur through these places.

Learning and knowing how you personally react and feel in situations of:
Conflict - do you walk away, say 'later, intervene, stay quiet, argue, take note when told of conflict - potential and occurring, ask how to resolve it ..
Questioning - how you feel about being questioned.
Requests - enjoy saying yes, prefer to say no, can work out a balance.
Time - what time do you give yourself to understand a request, new initiative, guidance, regulation.
Saying no - how do you say no to a colleague / friend
Saying yes - how do you say yes to a colleague / friend
Explaining: how do you explain a yes - a no to a colleague / friend.
How do you explain that all opinion is valued - that you recognise their point of view and where diversity exists how do you explain that working on behalf of everyone might, or might not be the most productive way forward.
Working out the balance - how do you obtain opinion in order to find solutions for all.
Religion - personal beliefs, can and does this imapct on your work.
Other culture: how do you feel about culture - own and other and can and does this impact on your work.

Productive working and working together productively
Conflict of interest:
Where someone wants something that another feels/knows is inappropriate - comprehensive definition from free dictionary
Diversity issues - sexual orientation, mental health, race, age, gender, religion, spirituality, disability, height, size, shape, name, preferences - thought, clothes, favourites, taste, touch, smell, language ..
