A Brief Note On The Barrier Of Participation For Carers

Practitioners work in partnership with parent’s families, as they are the child’s first and most enduring carers and educators

Children, young people and Families: Families of children with additional needs are likely to be in contact with many different agencies and professionals - for example health, education, social services, housing and benefits. For example, families with disabled children see on average ten different professionals and have more than 20 clinic visits a year (Sloper, 2004). Often families don't understand the roles and responsibilities of different agencies and professionals; they don't know who to go to for what; they may get conflicting information; they may be passed from one agency to another. This can produce rather than alleviate stress for parents and carers, which in turn impacts on relationships with their

Ability to listen effectively so that views of the children and their parents /carers effect appropriate involvement in care planning

Health and social care settings can present a variety of barriers to effective communication and interpersonal interaction. However these barriers and environmental factors can be overcome with the use of specific strategies targeting specific barriers.

‘Early years practitioners have a key role to play in working with parents to support their young children. This should include identifying learning needs and responding quickly to any difficulties. Wherever appropriate, practitioners should work together with professionals from other

Communication is very important, not only with the child/ young person but also their parents/ careers. Parents and careers need to be kept updated with everything that happens with their child/children and information that they need to know about the nursery itself. The stronger the relationship between the practioners and the parent/ career the stronger the trust the parents/ careers have with their child/ children in your care.

Maintain regular communication with your caregiver recipient. Daily phone contact or any other form is

The majority of carers are women (finch and groves 1983) and significant proportions are under the age of 18. This is known as a young carer, which is defined as ‘someone, under the age of 18, who looks after, or helps to care for, a family member who has a disability, mental ill health, a blood borne virus or a problematic use of drugs or alcohol. They may provide hands-on caring, and/or may be affected themselves by someone in their family who needs care’ (Dundee Carers Centre, 2009). There are difficulties identifying young carers because many do not disclose their caring role for fear of being separated from their parents and family members, bullying and social exclusion. Also there is a large amount of emotional strain for younger carers who do not access the services they are entitled to.

Make sure that their conversation is within confidential space meaning that only you the practitioner with the child and the parent.

It is always prudent to involve a senior member of staff or specialist area staff, i.e. Senco, when approaching parents about sensitive issues involving their children

Teaching the caregivers to be the “therapists” and helping Casey practice her communication skills is vital to Casey’s outcome. Since Casey is only four years old, they are in complete control of her environment and are the people around Casey the majority of the time. Implementing these strategies at home is the only way that Casey will get enough repetition to help her make immediate improvements.

Another strategies is having a diary with information on how the child got on but if it isn 't in Mr and Mrs Khan language then they might find it difficult to read. As a practitioner I could improve this by providing pictures or record what the diary says in it. For example, Kiara did have challenging behaviour but we calmed her down by doing an painting activity. At Park Lane Primary school before the children come into the setting and settle in, we will do a home visit. This is because it allows Mr and Mrs Khan to feel more control and feel more comfortable in their own home. However, sometimes this can be unsafe for practitioners so it is important that when a practitioner does a home visit. It is vital that we get someone to ring them every hour to make sure they are okay. it is important that us as practitioners in Park Lane Primary to encourage Mrs Khan to join the PTA and attend training events such as first aid. This will allow Mrs Khan to socialise with others and make friendships as she has only recently moved into the area. It could also help Mrs Khan to improve her language as she can pick up on others saying words. For example, one of the parents might say fancy coming home for tea. Mrs Khan can pick on this and learn language from people around her. However, if Mrs Khan joined the governors she might be worried to talk in front of everyone as she doesn’t speak English fluently. Also, in Park Lane Primary we run family

Many parents and carers are trying to juggle caring and working as well as time for themselves. LuckILy, there are many organisations and support groups available for parents and carers. They

Interviews with parents showed that although parents do more activities with their child after they have attended a funded early learning place some parents tend to do less. This happens because parents or carers of children think that their child s more independent after starting childcare.

I have revaluated approaches, practice and my qualities and convictions towards guardian inclusion. The fundamental centre is parents incline toward verbal correspondence on week by week bases. The information assembled will bolster my adjustment by and by. "How would you feel you are incorporated into your tyke's learning and improvement”? Every one of the ten parents gave comparative answers they get redesigns, photographs, perceptions and open mornings and are extremely upbeat. I feel I have bamboozled the parents a little as the inquiry has be taken uniquely in contrast to what I expected. Studies have demonstrated contribution is an organization of data sharing. The RP Cycle and three Layers model has permitted me to mirror my practice and have distinguished a shortcoming of including parent additionally esteeming their purpose of perspectives. My practice before invited sees from parents, yet not incredible significance or advanced data sharing.
