Cross-National Understandings of the Purpose of Professional-Child Relationships: Towards a Social Pedagogical Approach

A reassertion of the value of relationships in UK practice with children in care is underway after a period when outcome focused work obscured their importance. But little is specified in the training requirements for foster carers or residential care workers about how to construct and maintain high quality relationships. This paper presents evidence from a study of understandings of professional-child relationships in three continental European countries that are informed by social pedagogy and from social pedagogues working in England. Four purposes of relationships are identified that hinge on questions of whether the relationship is about facilitating another objective such as building children’s skills, participation in society, taking action on their behalf, or about being together in an ethical encounter. The paper then discusses the role of trust in relationships and the deployment of the self. It concludes by identifying four practical indicators for social pedagogic professional-child relationships. They should be: present and future orientated; founded on practical actions; they require awareness of how the worker uses their ‘self’; and a supportive organisational environment.

The role of trust in project-stakeholder relationships: a study of a construction project

In construction projects, it is vital to build good relationships with the stakeholders who are identified as being the most crucial for the end results. One issue that is highlighted as particularly important for building good project-stakeholder relationships is trust. The purpose of this paper is to address the role of trust in the relationship between a construction project and its stakeholders. This paper presents an empirical study that is based on in-depth interviews that follow a semistructured approach. A Norwegian project, the New Opera House, is studied. The New Opera House is a major public construction project with a great deal of attention from the media and the public in Norway. Our results clearly show that trust plays an important role in building well-functioning relationships in a construction project. The responses from the interviews emphasise that trust has a positive impact on the interactions and communications in the relationship.
