Case Study
One of your team members is unsure of how to create a holistic plan for a child that works towards the child’s personal interests and developmental needs.
Explain how you would work together to support this member of staff and provide examples of the benefits of working in partnership. Include examples of why it is important to tailor plans to meet the child’s individual needs and interests, and why a flexible approach is desired.
- Consider how essential communication is throughout this process
- Explain what is meant by a flexible approach
- If you were unable to support this member of staff, what would you suggest next?
- Reflect on how this could also be used as a part of standardisation within the setting’s continuous professional development.
It is rare that there is just one way to respond to a scenario or situation, so do not consider that the response you have chosen to this scenario will be judged as right or wrong. Share your scenario with a work colleague and ask them to tell you if they think you have responded appropriately. Ask them to challenge your response if necessary. You do not need to submit this task for assessment unless asked to do so by your tutor.
