Name 4 different partnerships that you may be involved with to support the children you are caring
for. Provide a sentence about each of the partnerships.

Please type your responses in this box and expand the box if you require more space.
School family community partnership – The child benefit from partnership as it family and staff
both work together to identify needs of child. This will help me to develop a care plan and what
relevant actions I can take. It will help family to understand child behaviour, experience, etc. and
how they develop.
Community partnership- the child will benefit from this as effective care will be provided with
support of others. I will benefit from it as it will help me to provide care with support of other
people. The family benefit from partnership as Families benefit greatly from having a support
network of people they can share information with and work through challenges together
Parenting partnership- the child will benefit from this as it will create a positive environment. I
will benefit from partnership as it provide support to involve parents and provide services to child.
The family will benefit from it as they will easily understand child behaviour.
Early childhood services may be able to connect families with one another or help access support
in their community. With support from staff, families can feel comfortable leaving their children
with people who are working in their child’s best interests. When families feel understood and
support they are able to give better health and well being to child.
There is great impact if good partnership is not formed. It leads to ineffective developing of child
care plan. Furthermore, without family support it becomes difficult to deal with child. It impact on
child health and well being as well.

maintained
