Document Summary
Forming and maintaining relationships is a central strategy for change in child and youth care practice and there has been an evolution in understanding the role of relationship and the implications for practice. Relationships are multidirectional and developmental because they change and evolve over time. Practitioners cant work without the context of relationship. Relationships is the first of 4 central domains that focus on the skills and knowledge of direct care work which are required to support young people and families. The self comes to every relationship as practitioners bring their values, beliefs, thoughts, actions and other aspects of self forward. Skills of professionalism and ethical conduct are expressed through the conscious application of professional boundaries. Focus is always on the young person or family needs. Essential for understanding and assessing development and the systems in which a child is found.
