Which I have since completed and I feel better when talking to people. 2 – Manager praised me when doing an activity which has boosted my confidence. 3 – Was told I need to manage my time during the day better. I now asses what I am doing making sure we have enough time to complete activity. 4 – received a letter from a parent saying how much their child had enjoyed a certain activity so will make sure we do this again. 5 – Had feedback from other staff that I could have set out an activity better so now we come together as a team to discuss how we are going to do something and share ideas. Reflecting on the information After gathering all the information it shows that not all practitioners receive feedback. Receiving regular feedback is important so that we can evaluate our current knowledge and performance. It is good to gain feedback on a regular basis so we can learn and highlight any weaknesses. And use this feedback to make beneficial changes if needed to the practice. Out of the five people I questioned 0nly 2 received feedback and this was formally and one person informally every term. But it was highlighted that these 3 people would like to receive their feedback on a one to one basis and that they respond well to the feedback.
