Hiya, when a situation like this uses the word 'role I've looked at it as a vehicle .. an analogy might be .. communication on or being a bus - fill up all the seats, aisles and footwells with it .. and then see who gets on, who gets off and who asks for information ...

Knowing what 'clear communication' means to you will help ... this may possibly involve - You , you're ablity to talk, communicate, discuss, help, know and guide..

The information you have. What you know about your setting, it's way of doing things - policies and procedures and the way you are able to tell people about this - the words/signs you use to do it and the body language you display.

The evidence you have and how it is presented is also a method of clear communication, it can show how the child/children participate within the setting - in this situation this is, your experience in being the Child's key person, home link and the documenting Journal/progress book.

Time - effective information/communicating helps to explain things clearly and consisely, covering points that parents may be most interested in or be concerned/curious about.

Journals/progress books are a favoured format for this as they have the potential to contain a great deal of information.

The outcome is how you, Parents, Child/ren and the setting 'felt at the end of the meeting - was this good or bad / positive or negative.
If negative, why? - everyone working sincerely with children want's a Child's early learning experience to be a positive one, a negative outcome is not good for anyone - so what went wrong - this is where you maybe able to identify aspects of conflict.

Effective communication should provide answers and openings that ensure everyone is happy with what is, and may go on/happen.

Hope this has helped a little
