1.1- Review the range of groups and individuals whose communication needs must be addressed in own job role:
It is an integral part of my role communicating with young people, parents/carers and various professionals within a residential setting.
I always discuss subjects/issues with the young people judging on their level of understanding and their cultural background. I have to be mindful of their frame of mind at the time, when communicating with these service users. I have to ensure that the language that I am using is clear, as the young people are from various parts of the country; this is to ensure that I am not misunderstood or what I am saying is misinterpreted, as if this was to occur it could have serious

I have to manage these situations with delicacy and professionally. On occasions I have had to approach their line managers to notify them of these short fallings and the impact this is having on me providing the best possible care for the young people concerned. I regularly have to state the National minimum Standards and the Care planning Regulations in order to receive an appropriate response to my request for information.
I also encounter internal barriers to communication. I have very positive working relationships with the full staff team at Sycamore House and we all have mutual respect for each other. The team is very close and each member is open to be challenged no matter what the hierarchal order within the team. Any barriers to communication are addressed openly and discussions take place, on how to prevent further instances of this.
Clear recoding systems are in place and these are monitored and evaluated on a regular basis to look at methods of improving the communication within the home. For example when I was instated as the Registered Manager I introduced a message log, this is to pass information form team to team or from management to the whole team. This has proven effective and successful.
Many barriers exist with the young people some of who do not want to engage with the staff team at Sycamore House. To break this cycle the staff have to build positive relationship and gain the trust of the young people. This

Communication is one of the most important parts of any relationship. Business relationships are no different. Having effective business communication or not having effective business communication can positively or negatively impact the success of an entire organization. Unfortunately, there are many barriers that can obstruct effective business communication. Those barriers come in four different categories. Those categories are personal barriers, physical barriers, sematic barriers and process barriers.

2.3 You can show how and when to seek advice about communication if you feel unsure about something, maybe a physical incident may have taken place which worried you, maybe something was thrown at you. Sometimes complex cases need extra assistance and help can be sought by talking to your peers, line managers, the individuals carer. A line manager or supervisor can help advise on specialist organisations who offer expert advice and services, as it is best not to think or second guess that you can manage the situation by yourself especially if you do not have the necessary skill set to deal with certain communication problems. Professional duty to ensure individuals receive the very best care and support is essential to provide the best service you can for them.
In any organization effective communication forms an essential part of the organization’s growth and progress. However, it has been seen that this is not always the case. This istrue in today’s globalized world when one has employees coming from different ethnic, cultural and religious backgrounds working together.

When I am communicating with children/young people I need to ensure that I am always clear and to the point and that I am using a style and method of communication that is appropriate to their age, needs and abilities. This would involve me using words and phrases that children will understand, making use of facial gestures and body language, actively listening to them, making sure my responses remain positive when the children express their own views and feelings; and checking points to re-inforce their understanding and knowledge. I need to make sure I am speaking clearly and slowly so that the child understands what I am trying to say and that everyone gets a turn to speak about what they want to say. I also have to listen to the child/young person, make eye contact with them and use active listening so that they know that I am giving them my full attention. I need to ensure that I am approachable and that I get down to the child’s level as it can be intimidating if someone is towering over them. I need to smile and react in a positive way to what they are

Communication is constantly happening within the day care centre and in my job role I have a responsibility to communicate with staff, service users and other professionals. I use various forms of communication but I also seek to make sure that it is understood. Communication has got to be understood before it can be effective and so I try to ensure comprehension when I am verbally speaking by getting staff to repeat what I have asked them to do. I also write simply worded memos and emails to ensure ease of comprehension. When communicating with other professionals I speak clearly and seek affirmation when organising meetings or planning events. I also

Effective Communication is significant and a fundamental relationship-building skill in the workplace for any employee especially for managers to perform the basic functions of management, i.e., Planning, Organising, Leading and Controlling. If people don't communicate well they limit their ability to connect on any meaningful level which can create conflict. Depending on the position in workplace, others will have expectations of how an individual should communicate with others. It is important that for any employee show respect to those he or she works with. The general social care council’s code of practice states that communications should be conducted in an
