It is important to work with others as this is the best way to a help a child, if you have concerns about their development. Other agencies and professionals are able to provide extra support and expertise to assist you in planning for extra support and learning opportunities for these children. This way all of the professionals are working together, information is shared and the best services are provided for the child, in line with the 5 positive outcomes under Every Child Matters. It also important to remember parental permission must always be sought before contacting outside agencies.

The following principles and values underpin the Work with Parents sector

1. All work with parents should reflect the rights of the child set out in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989) ratified by the UK in December 1991

2. Practitioners need to work in partnership with parents at all times, encouraging independence and self-reliance

3. Mothers, fathers and those in a parenting role are acknowledged as having unique knowledge and information about their children and are the primary educators of their children

4. Children are the responsibility of, and make a positive contribution to, the wider society as well as their families

5. Work with parents should value and build on parents existing strengths, knowledge and experience

6. Parenting information, education, support and interventions should be available to, and practitioners should engage with, all those in a parenting role

7. Services should aim to offer a range of appropriate support according to both child and parent level of need, what is available in the family already and in communities

8. Respect for diversity and different needs, promotion of equality and taking action to overcome threatening, offensive or discriminatory behaviour and attitudes are of fundamental importance to
Work with parents

9. Anyone who works with parents should have specific training, qualifications and expertise that are appropriate to the work they are undertaking

10. Good practice requires reflection, regular and appropriate supervision and support as well as a continuing search for improvement

11. Parenting practitioners utilise effective working partnerships with agencies and individuals in providing support to parents and families. Integrated working and the sharing of approaches across services is a key element of this role

12. Parenting information, education, support and interventions should utilise the best known evidence for good outcomes for children and parents

13. Parenting practitioners should be committed to engaging with children, young people and families fully through identifying goals, assessing options, mentoring or coaching, making decisions and reviewing outcomes. They should support children’s and families’ involvement in the development, delivery and evaluation of children’s services

14. Work with parents should place the interests of children and young people at the heart of the work. Practitioners are committed to working with parents and families so that children and young people have the opportunity to achieve positive outcomes

15. Work with parents recognises the need for innovation and creativity to address both emerging and local needs and to build self-regulating and supportive community networks

In our setting we don’t have a policy on working with partnership but we all know the importance of working in partnership. We currently work with SENCO and have a professional relationship with them and the parents as we want the best for the child in our setting. We do report writing and minutes of the meetings, and act on everything noted down in a confidential manner, and treat both the parents and children as individuals. We work alongside the health visitor who looks at both the interests of the child and parent both at home and within a setting. We work with social services if we feel a child is in danger as they have the ultimate power to remove a child in danger. We also work alongside the NSPCC, Samaritans and the gps as they can provide information for us to help the child.
