1. Barriers to effective communication (P3 & M1)
For P3, learners need to describe the potential barriers to communication. To do this, learners should attempt to address at least one barrier from each of the sub-headings in LO 2 (eg a very diverse audience, background noise and using the wrong style is a potential barrier).
For M1, learners can consider the barriers they have identified for P3 and explain what can be used to reduce the impact of these. Explain how the mechanism can be used and why it may work.
