Hi there, just wondered if someone can read this through and let me know if they think it is enough to cover this question: Provide a framework to support inclusion and anti-discriminatory practice to meet individual needs?
In my setting I use the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum. This is the curriculum to be used for all children from birth to five years old, regardless of their gender, culture, language or ability.
By observing, assessing and evaluating children individually, my planning is inclusive of everybody and can then be adapted to meet individual children's needs to ensure that no child is left out of an activity or experience.
Another way I support inclusive and anti-discriminatory practice is by ensuring all children and families are valued and their individual needs are met. My setting has a Valuing and Celebrating Diversity and Inclusion policy which I adhere to at all times. This states that "We are actively commited to valuing and celebrating the diversity and inclusion of culture, race, ethnicity, religion, ability, gender and family composition within our Centres and the wider community".
Some ways I put this into practice are by providing activities and resources that reflect the diversity and differences of all the children in our setting. This includes dual language books, ethnic clothing, positive images and attitudes towards disability and celebarations to mark cultural and religious festivals.
Thanks in advance xxx
