Day Care Setting.

A day care promotes anti- discriminatory practice as in a day care setting every child must be treated with consideration and with a none biased attitude, there should be no favouritism shown as every child must be treated with equality and the same amount of respect as every other child in the day care. The day care should not refuse a child because of yours or the child's beliefs or religion. Every child has the right to every opportunity that can be provided by the service provider. Treating a child differently because of a hearing impairment, a visual impairment, age, gender, an accent, religion, autism, the way they are dressed or because of their health. Doing any of these discriminations is a breach of the disability discrimination act 1995, race relations act 1976, sex discrimination act 1975, and age discrimination act 2006, and human rights act 1998, convention on the rights of the child (UN 1989). Every child day care should embrace every child’s diversity, raise every child's self-esteem through empowerment by giving the child options of what they would like to do such as finger painting or a puppet show or as another example what food they would like to eat toast or egg. Anti- discriminatory practice could be promoted through posters being put up on the walls , of children of a different ethnicity and different cultures and religions. This will allow children to grow understanding that diversity is ok.

  1. Hi there Alex.

    Just read your blog and agree with your comments regarding raising children's self esteem through empowerment in this setting. I also feel that it is the responsibility of the managers in this setting to ensure that all of their employees are fully aware of and understand current legislation, policies and procedures that are put in place to promote anti-discriminatory practices. This information could be delivered through regular staff training from, for example, other practitioners who can explain how their settings implement anti-discriminatory practices or by arranging training workshops. If staff do not have the relevant training and understanding regarding these practices and are not encouraged to examine their own thoughts and prejudices, they will not be able to deliver care and education to individual children equally, no matter what their age, disability, education, language, background, skin colour, beliefs or race for example.
