Default power base

Hi Mother theresa - found this on the web - thought it might help!
Recognising and responding appropriately to the power base underpinning relationships
Few relationships are genuinely equal in terms of power. Someone may have more resources, experience or skills. They may equally have power as a result of their position and role. It is important to understand this in terms of our relationships with children, young people and others. With children and young people, it is particularly important that our power is not abused as it is given to
us to protect and nurture them. This means not ‘ordering’ children about, but ensuring that we are always fair, respectful and courteous.
best wishes and good luck with this one!
Mrs Noah
