Verbal Communication Observation

The first type of communication I observed during my placement was a form of verbal communication, I observed a face to face conversation between a member of staff and pupil about how the pupil was feeling that day, the purpose of this was to encourage a relationship between the member of staff and student this allowed the pupil to feel comfortable talking to a member of staff about their wellbeing and would allow the member of staff to take appropriate action if it was required.

This is beneficial for the relationship between the teacher and parent/guardian as it allows for them to know exactly what their child is going to be doing when they are out of
