LA019636 - Scenario: Natalia - Communication Book For George

[pinkchos]

Task 4. Communication and Collaborative Partnerships with the family

The service has a communication book, which is sent home with each parent. Upon arrival to the centre, parents place their communication book in a basket for staff members to review during the day. Natalia has placed a request that the educators call her during the day in order to inform her if the children are settled and happy. Natalia also wants to know what educational program is in place for George who will be starting school the following year.

1. What information would you ask Natalia about George’s physical and emotional needs?

2. What would you let Natalia know in relation to his day at your service?

3. List three (3) strategies you would use to develop a positive relationship with Natalia while supporting her children’s transitions into care.

4. How would you respond to Natalia’s concerns if she told you about her separation with Gerard?
Quality Area 6 in the National Quality Framework relates to Collaborative Partnerships with families and communities. Element 6.3.1 states: Links with relevant community and support agencies are established and maintained.

5. Find and describe two (2) organisations in your own area which would be useful to recommend to Natalia in order to provide ongoing support to the family in this context. Use direct quotes with the page and web address to refer to when possible.

Hi. Have you had any help with this? I am also needing some help on number 1.

[Lorina]

What information would you ask Natalia about George’s physical and emotional needs?

This may help:

School Readiness Program

2. What would you let Natalia know in relation to his day at your service?

What he did?
Who he played with?
What he ate, how much?
New skills he learnt?
Any new interests

How would you respond to Natalia’s concerns if she told you about her separation with Gerard?

Re-assure her and provide her comfort that you are there to support her and her children. You will keep her updated on any changes of behaviour from her children. If their is a court order for access to the children that it will be put in place, you will offer additional comfort and support to the children during this time etc.

Hope this helps,
