Cait Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Hmm, Perhaps a good start is to look at all the information you would like to share, and then think about the best case scenario of sharing it well. Do you have a good example of a learning journey showing examples of good sharing of info - or could you manufacture one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skippy Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 I feel confident to do the presentation but worry about it coming across well?!?!?!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I would consider starting with having the parents input, "What does 'sharing information' mean to you?" Include in the presentation: What parents would want to be informed about. What settings would like to know How to include the children in information sharing Methods of communication Barriers to communication (language, jargon, literate or not, too much info gets lost etc) Difficult subjects to communicate ie: behaviour issues, child protection the need for professional honesty alongside consideration of subjects that parents may not want to hear and how to overcome this in the best interests of the child, but with consideration to parents feelings/needs etc. Recording communication The importance of confidentiality Maybe examples of when communication has proved beneficial, examples of how communication can go wrong and why. I'm sure there's more but mind gone blank now. Peggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 My tutor always said, 'start by telling them what you are going to tell them, then tell them, then finish off by telling them what you've told them' It's always worked for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 hello skippy Sorry i took so long to reply! When i eventually found my PP presentation i remembered it had been done in the policy module of my foundation degree so it was not that relevant to you i dont think. Think you need to mention how you respect,value and acknowledge parents views,wishes,ideas, How you currently share info / communicate with parents- (news letters,child development files, parents forum,parents evening are just some ways my setting communicates with parents) I mentioned Ofsted too and what they expected of my setting with regards working in partnership with parents. Do you have a working in partnership policy in your setting-you could refer to this. Have you got time to do a short questionnairre to send out to your parents to find out their views on how they think your setting communicates already and asking them what is missing,how could your setting improve communication. Hope i have helped you a little! Good luck,Unsworth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cait Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I'm sure it will be fine. It will certainly be a useful learning experience for you - you may discover a whole new niche for yourself and become a trainer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
