The issue of power will always be present, however this needs to be addressed through building healthy trusting relationships between staff and service users and ensuring there are adequate reporting systems should this become an issue. Staff and service user belief and value systems can cause communication issues. It is important to put your own beliefs and values to one side and be open minded to others. If we rigidly place upon others our beliefs and values this will effect communication.
When communicating with family members it is important to respect confidentiality both from the family member and the service user. Knowing so much about a service user over a period of 6 months can cause complacency in what staff know about a client and where communicating with family can become controversial. I always check out who is calling or enquiring about a client before disclosing any information. Client confidentiality contracts are signed by service users and next of kin is identified. Staff members also sign a confidentiality agreement to ensure there are procedures should confidentiality be broken.
When communicating with outside agencies, issues occasionally arise. It can be very difficult to get hold of specific people. Phone calls and/or paperwork may not be returned. Simply marking an e mail URGENT can help. Logging any communication between organisations can be useful as it provides evidence of calls, e mails, texts etc. Service

Communication is one of the most important parts of any relationship. Business relationships are no different. Having effective business communication or not having effective business communication can positively or negatively impact the success of an entire organization. Unfortunately, there are many barriers that can obstruct effective business communication. Those barriers come in four different categories. Those categories are personal barriers, physical barriers, sematic barriers and process barriers. A manager must know how to work around the communication barriers and use his or her communication skills to keep business operations going smoothly and to make improvements to the
Excellent communication in a social care setting enables a resident to trust staff. This is achieved by being empathetic and understanding towards what they are telling you. Fulfilling their request wherever
It is my responsibility to make sure that my communication skills meet the need of the service users I support. I should not expect the service users to adjust their communication to fit in with me.
2.3 explain how and when to access information and support about identifying and addressing specific communication needs.
There may be a number of reasons why communication difficulties are happening between individuals/groups of people here are some example of what they may be…
1.1 I communicate with a wide range of groups and individuals on a daily, weekly, and less frequent basis within my role as care home manager. These include other managers, operations manager, managing director and company owners as well as support workers, clients, team leaders, social workers, care managers, families, health and educational professionals, learning disability team members from 6 different boroughs etc.
Good communication and team work is essential in all aspects of my job, and requires some basic rules, such as: Objectives within the roles and responsibility, and objectives of the job, being able to make decisions, sharing information and knowing when it is necessary and when it should be kept confidential. Also, being able to resolve conflicts is a big part or working partnerships, as not everyone is going to get along with each other and sometimes people need to just be able to listen and come up with a compromise. It is all about delivering good quality social care to the clients, whilst maintaining strong working relationships. With

Effective Communication is significant and a fundamental relationship-building skill in the workplace for any employee especially for managers to perform the basic functions of management, i.e., Planning, Organising, Leading and Controlling. If people don't communicate well they limit their ability to connect on any meaningful level which can create conflict. Depending on the position in workplace, others will have expectations of how an individual should communicate with others. It is important that for any employee show respect to those he or she works with. The general social care council’s code of practice states that communications should be conducted in an

Another strategy is promoting rights. This is related to the Human Rights Act, it is a law that is used in the UK. A barrier could be that one of the staff members may not like one of the other members of staff. To overcome this they will have to understand and have mutual respect for each other. Staffs have to be wary of things that are going on around them. By being wary they are taking responsibility for their own actions and words. It would be a lot easier if everyone could get along and understand each other therefore communication would not be a problem. Everyone would be able to express how they feel and what their individual thoughts are without hesitating. In care settings staff should help service users to express how they are feeling and what they are thinking. (Langridge, 2007)
