To ensure that everyone is included and has the opportunity to fully access any areas of learning within the framework. Providing an inclusive environment for children enables them to develop self esteem and confidence. It shows them that they are valued and respected as unique individuals regardless of any additional needs, family and ethnic background

Hi, this is a definition from Cache's playwork glossary

Quote:

Anti-discriminatory practice
Taking positive action to counter discrimination; this will involve identifying and challenging discrimination and being positive in your practice about diversity without compromising the right of individuals to play.


Understanding what discrimination is and how harmful it can be will help to see why it's important to promote anti-disriminatory practice.

This page of thewhocarestrust.org.uk is a good read, the focus is the discrimination faced by children in care and carries information that relates to why setting's have anti-discriminatory practice.
