Answer 5

If you are doing a direct observation of the children at play then you should obtain the parents permission first, explain what will happen during the observation and what will be recorded.

You also need to tell the children whats happening

Answer 6

I hold open days once a term to give parents a time to look through their child's file and have a chance to chat to their childs key worker.  In addition on induction I let the parents know that they can see the file at anytime or speak to the keyworker if they need more info.

If we have concerns about a child's behaviour or they have an SEN or EAL we speak to the parents at the end of the sessions they attend to report back how they are doing.  It all depends on the child and the parent remember to treat each family as individual with their own needs being met.
