Whilst I was in my care setting I witnessed positive communication and team working in the care setting. Most of the teamwork promoted positive communication and therefore was necessarary in the care setting. According to BusinessDictionarary.com teamwork is ‘the process of working collaboratively with a group of people, in order to achieve a goal.’ Teamwork was critical in my care setting whether it is between the pupils or the staff.

In my care setting throughout the year parents and teachers met after school hours to talk about the pupils’ academic progress. The teacher talked in detail about each pupil’s progress on a particular subject. This ensures the parent is up to date with what is occurring in the care setting. Verbal communication is used during these meetings to make sure the message is put across and allowing the teacher and parents to have a discussion on certain topics. In some instances the children’s work in class e.g. a drawing may be used to discuss something with the parent. This promotes positive communication in the care setting.

When I was in the care setting I witnessed positive communication between the teachers and senior management. Every break time there was a quick briefing in the staffroom about any notifications or forthcoming plans. Both senior staff and staff were allowed to talk about any event that was forthcoming or any information that the teachers urgently needed to know. T This ensures that both teachers and senior staff are kept up to date with anything occurring in the care setting. The purpose of this communication is to ensure that the staff is not confused about anything and that both staff and senior staff can get their point across easily. Verbal communication was used during the briefings but sometimes handouts and pages with information were handed out.
