Unit 6 D grade 2.2 by Sharon Davies https://padlet.com/sharondavies2/rmyk3mqik0mj Group Work en-us 2019-03-31 21:18:07 UTC 2025-12-02 11:24:59 UTC hello@padlet.com equality https://padlet.com/sharondavies2/rmyk3mqik0mj/wish/347086683 It is about ensuring that every individual has an equal opportunity to make the most of their lives and talents.
It is about understanding that all children have different needs and they are unique to every individual child and that even though they have different needs they should all get the same opportunities. 
Not all children should be treated the same because children with additional needs may need more attention and support than others so they may not get the additional support if everyone is treated the same. 
Equality stops discrimination. 
Boys and girls should be treated the same and have the same opportunities in life for example the boys and girls can play sports such as football or rugby. 
In some cases it does not happen and children that need additional support do not get the support that they need this can be due to the setting being under staffed. 

it is important to involve all children as it helps the practitioner understand what the children's interests are so that they can learn at their own pace. this involves all children making it fair for all children.
the eyfs development matters states that " every child is a unique child who is constantly learning and can be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured" this shows that every child has different needs and they are to be met individually. since every child learns differently the practitioners should plan the activities differently so that the children all have the same opportunities. ]]> 2019-04-01 10:00:15 UTC https://padlet.com/sharondavies2/rmyk3mqik0mj/wish/347086683 Discrimination https://padlet.com/sharondavies2/rmyk3mqik0mj/wish/347087171 Discrimination is a biased judgment of an ethnicity, race, sexuality, gender, and other categories which are different. For example if a child in setting said a racist comment then that can affect the other child in negative ways such as low self-esteem. The practitioner would explain to the child how it is wrong to make biased comments towards a person based off of a persons religion. However if the practitioner did not talk to the child about the incident and how they was in the wrong, the child will not learn why they should not pass biased judgement on people who are different to them.  The EYFS Statutory Frameworks state that  "equality of opportunity and anti-discriminatory practice, ensuring that every child is included and supported," (Department for Education, 2017.) The practitioner will make sure everyone understands the individual needs of children and why children are different, and also the practitioner will need to make sure everyone is treated to meet their own individual needs.]]> 2019-04-01 10:02:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sharondavies2/rmyk3mqik0mj/wish/347087171 https://padlet.com/sharondavies2/rmyk3mqik0mj/wish/347087563 inclusion
Inclusion is seen as a universal human right. The aim of inclusion is to embrace all people irrespective of race, gender, disability, medical or other need. It is about giving equal access and opportunities and getting rid of discrimination and intolerance. It also affects all aspects of public life.
Child care inclusion means that all children can benefit from the same child care programs and children with disabilities need child care for the same reasons that all other children need child care.
A practiitoners support can make all the difference in the success of inclusion. A supportive administrator, models a positive attitude toward inclusion and toward children with special needs and their families. However there are disadvantages of inclusive practice as well such as, not all students is comfortable to learn at the same pace or have the same skills mastered, particularly those with learning actitioners use inclusive practitice to make sure children are given opportunities to support their individual needs for children to develop in their own way, according to development matters EYFS children aged 30-50 months “begins to accept the needs of others and can take turns and share resources, sometimes with support from others.” This suggests that children understand the importance of sharing.

These individual differences can include race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age and religious beliefs. Early years settings should strive to provide a diverse environment where children mutually respect each other, children should be aware of the differences between each other and accept these differences. 

A positive method that early years practitioners aid diversity within settings is to facilitate learning regarding different religious beliefs, for example teaching children about religious festivals such as diwali celebrated by Hindus, Sikhs and Jain. Diwali is the festival of light celebrated on Sunday 27th October. An activity practitioners may complete with children in the setting to learn about diwali is creating candle holders out of salt dough, children can be encouraged to make them sparkly and colourful following the bright tradition and add an electric tea light supporting the festival of light.

A negative method practitioners can deal with encouraging diversity is to exclude other children from activities based on their beliefs or individual principles. For example on parents evening, parents are encouraged to come in to review there childs progress, a child is from a same sex family and the practitioner discriminates against the arrival of the same sex parents. This practitioner is not providing diversity as the practitioner does not accept the sexual orientation of the parents and therefore provides different treatment.

 The EYFS development matters helps to encourage diversity by providing development goals that relate the understanding of the world people and communities. This are helps to create an understanding in children of different cultures to their own helping them to learn to accept individual differences and create diversity. For children to reach the early learning goal they need to "know about similarities and differences between themselves and other, and among families, communities and traditions".]]> 2019-04-01 10:06:31 UTC https://padlet.com/sharondavies2/rmyk3mqik0mj/wish/347088945
