The legal consideration is based on to have effective communication within the health

the same manner then both parties can co-ordinate with each other. Legal consideration always
encourages the understanding and co-ordination. The natural worth is most important in the
health and social care.
There are many people who belongs from different backgrounds and their consideration
thought is also different according to the culture. And their language and position in the society
is also different. If the consideration and co-ordination is better and effective then the old
employees can influence the new employees of the health and care services. The skills of the

1. Own works are autonomous in nature and have the choice freedom to do, while the other
works are under the influence by the other parties who is exercising the activity on behalf
of other persons (Hamza, 2010).
2. Another important think is that the cost and expenses are also in our control. but in the
case of the other it is costly because of the training and development of new person.
3. Own works is comfortable to take actions into own when it is necessary. While in the
case of the other it is difficult to take action because it is in the other hands or authority.
4. It help to establish independence to think ideas through on their own but while because
the goals are already pre decided in the other work.
5. Lack of knowledge can damage the plan,but other works are requires proper skill to
perform the task.
4.3 Own role in minimising barriers to effective teamwork in health and social care
The effective teamwork is most important and beneficial for the health and social care
organization. With the help of the impressive and effective teamwork the manager of the
organization can keep communication and understanding among the people. But there are some
barriers which a manager need to identify that and after the identification they can remove the
barriers.
If the communication will be effective then a manager can remove and minimize the
barriers of the health and social care organization (McNiff, 2010).
A effective teamwork must be co-coordinating if the co-ordination will be operate then a
manager can minimize the barriers of the health and care organization.
