Consider why managing relationships with people is so important to the learning environment.
Why are relationships with colleagues and other professionals key to ensuring that children receive the best possible provision?

any help or infomation on the above question many thanks

Why is it important to be aware of your limitations?

Simply because as an individual you won't or don't know everything about a child - perhaps you would speak to a parent who would know their child better, a key worker of that child or even the Senco in your setting or share information with a professional outside the setting.

Respect the experience and responsibilites of other professionals -

They will have different knowledge - but also beneficial knowledge. You may have inter-agency meetings with other professionals - Area Senco, Occupational therapist etc.

You don't 'knock' their suggestions/knowledge, but respect and embrace their input as you are all working and aiming for the same outcome for a child - to give then the best possible start in life.

When is comes to asserting your knowledge - it simply means that you should respect your own knowledge of that child and you expertise. You may not have the 'professional' qualifcations of a paediatrician, but your knowledge and expertise as you imput into a meeting or an IEP will be valued.

You will ensure that a good relationship is maintained with other professionals by the way you interact and speak to other professionals - by listening to each other, sharing information and respecting and valuing each other's knowledge and input and genuinely work together as part of a team.
