Rachael and Miss Telford
Rachael is shy and quiet. She works in a care home for the elderly. She has been asked by her
manager to help Miss Telford put on her coat. Rachael has not spoken to Miss Telford before
and says to her, ‘Come on, Miss Telford. You are going out, so put your coat on!’ Miss Telford
starts to cry. Rachael feels angry and then shouts at Miss Telford to stop being silly.
What should Rachael have done before going to help
Miss Telford?
What did Rachael do wrong?
How would you suggest that Rachael should
communicate with Miss Telford to support her?
What would you say and how would you say it?

Ben and Sue
Ben is a teenager with cerebral palsy and limited speech. He is a wheelchair user and is unable to feed
or care for himself. However, his cognitive ability is normal. Sue is a new carer who has come to Ben’s
home to assist him. She does not know any details of Ben’s condition, just that he needs personal care.
When she first meets him she talks loudly and slowly. This annoys Ben and he shouts back. Sue assumes that,
because Ben is physically disabled, he must have cognitive disabilities. She therefore ignores the fact
that he is shouting at her and carries on with her tasks.
What should Sue have done before meeting Ben?
What did Sue do wrong?
How should Sue communicate with Ben to
support him?
What would you say and how would you say it?

Can you think of some one-to-one communication situations?
![Page 14: Unit 1: Developing effective communication in Health and Social Care P1/M1](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062721/56649f225503460f94c3a5a6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
One-to-one communication
• Follows a 3 part structure:• Beginning– Create the correct feeling (i.e. positive atmosphere)– Greeting (e.g. hello, hiya)
• Middle– A conversation occurs– Questions are asked – Information is exchanged
• End– Leave the other people with the right emotions– Say something like “see you soon”
![Page 15: Unit 1: Developing effective communication in Health and Social Care P1/M1](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062721/56649f225503460f94c3a5a6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Test your communication skills. Look at the faces below and decide what each
character is feeling. Compare your answers to those given by other members of the
group. Do you agree?
![Page 17: Unit 1: Developing effective communication in Health and Social Care P1/M1](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062721/56649f225503460f94c3a5a6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Group communication
• Everyone has to be involved in the group interaction. It is normal to feel threatened when you have to speak in front of a group of people. Other people might be quieter than normal in front of a group.
• Humour can encourage everyone to join in.• Sometimes a group leader might be involved,
they can encourage people and help people to take turns when talking.
![Page 18: Unit 1: Developing effective communication in Health and Social Care P1/M1](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062721/56649f225503460f94c3a5a6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Group communication
• Individuals will need to plan what they say in front of the group.
• It is best to take it in turns to speak. In order to know when a person has stopped talking you listen carefully to what they say, people lower their tone of voice when they are finishing a sentence. You know when it is your own turn to talk by watching the eyes of others around you.
• It is important to sit in a circle, this leads to a positive group feeling, people can take turns to talk and see each other’s faces.

Formal communication
• This is speaking or writing in an official way because they are representing their care organisation.
• When answering the phone you might say...• When writing a letter you might start with “...”
and end with “...”.• You would avoid jargon and slang.• Formal communication shows respect for
others. But being too ‘posh’ may make you look pretentious.

• It is often more personal than formal communication.
• When you answer the phone you might say...• When sending a text you might use...• In some areas of the country there might be a
particular way of speaking.• All of this does not mean that informal
communication is less respectful or effective though.

Written
• Service users’ records are written (by hand or electronic).
• Policies and procedures are also written.• Care practitioners spend a lot of time writing
(e.g. emails, care plans, letters, reports, referrals etc).
• Written communication needs to be clear and carers need to have a good knowledge of how to write letters, notes etc.

Oral
• Oral communication means to speak out loud.• Individuals will need to consider their pace, tone
and pitch, as well as their volume.• It is not a good idea to shout or to mumble, it is also
not good to speak too fast or too slowly. This would draw away from what you are saying, and individuals focus on how you are talking.
• A care practitioner needs to speak clearly and with an encouraging tone of voice. This shows respect and sincerity.

Technology
• Technology has evolved to help us communicate faster than in the past.
• Examples of technology are text messages and emails, but also hearing aids and Braille printers.
![Page 45: Unit 1: Developing effective communication in Health and Social Care P1/M1](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062721/56649f225503460f94c3a5a6/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Task• You need to make your own notes on:• Types of interpersonal interaction:
– speech, – language (first language, dialect, slang, jargon), – non-verbal (posture, facial expression, touch, silence, proximity, reflective
listening).• Communication and language needs and preferences: the individual’s
preferred method of communication, e.g. – language, – British Sign Language, – Makaton, – Braille, – the use of signs, symbols, pictures and writing, – objects of reference, – finger spelling, – communication passports, – human and technological aids to communication, – variation between cultures.

assessment of the role of effective communication and interpersonal interaction in health and social care. To do this you need to explain why each type of communication is so important and how it impacts on the services provided by health care professionals with reference to theories of communication (Argyle and Tuckman’s model). (M1)
• The four types of communication are:– Different contexts of communication– Different forms of communication– Interpersonal interaction– Communication and language needs and
preferences
