"Good practice, values and ethical requirements when liaising with other professionals
Good communication skills between all parties involved
Respect one another and listen to views, even if they are different to yours.
Share information between yourselves, but remember the importance of confidentiality- only share what is relevant.
Work as a team, we all want to create a positive outcome for the child.
Everybody should be treated as an equally important member of the team. Everybody's views and opinions count.
Value the experiences of others, maybe somebody has been in a similar situation before.
Support one another, some situations can be distressing and knowing that somebody else is there beside you can be a big help.
There may be times when others come to me with challenges that they are facing that exceed the limits of my own expertise. If this were to happen, I would talk to the staff member concerned to find out as much as possible about their problem/challenge, and ask their permission to seek advice on their behalf before contacting the relevant agency or organisation, such as training providers or other professionals.
It is important for those involved with children (parents/carers, nursery nurses, other professionals) to share knowledge and experience as they may be able to apply previous experience to a new situation.
Where there may be difficulties at home, if a parent does not share this with the staff who care for their child, they will not be prepared for any unusual behaviour (such as the child seeming withdrawn or clingy, or attention seeking behaviour). Staff should share with each other strategies that they have found useful in improving the behaviour of individual children, so that they can be used consistently. If it is thought that a child may need extra support, then this should be shared with the SENCO, and outside agencies, so that the child is properly assessed and the right provision can be put in place. Failure to do so will result in the child not receiving the best possible care.
Many training courses will draw from the experience of the trainers themselves, books and articles can be found which draw from the experience of others, and opportunities for staff within the setting to discuss and share their experiences should be provided through formal and informal meetings- all helping individuals to broaden their own knowledge and understanding when working with children."
