Challenging Discrimination
 

Is anyone able to help with this section please.... :dizzy:

I am stumped on the specification of 'plan an activity', particularly for the questions regarding staff members, rather than to just discuss with staff etc??

Imagine that you encounter the following situations at your setting. Briefly plan an activity for each one (for staff or for children, as appropriate) that shows how you could challenge the beliefs underpinning each situation and promote change.

-You are a setting manager. You overhear room leader Jonathan say to fellow practitioner Laura that it is not fair that Afia is allowed time to pray during work each day.

-You are a room leader. At story time Farukh says he does not want to hear a particular story because it is about a ‘brown’ girl, and ‘brown’ girls are not interesting.

-You are a setting manager. Your deputy Hannah says that she cannot provide feedback to Gavin’s mother, Layla, at the end of the day because it is ‘impossible’ to understand what Layla says in response due to her speech impediment, the result of a stroke she had last year.

-You are a room leader. Heidi has same-sex parents, Naomi and Eleanor. You hear one of your room’s staff say to another child that Heidi has a mummy and a nanny that picks her up sometimes. Heidi is very confused.

Many thanks in advance :smile:

Hi, discuss with staff would be an activity xx

If you were made aware that these events and views were present in your setting planning an activity for staff would involve a meeting, organising a time for attendance, venue and resources maybe, to substantiate why peoples right to eg.
expression, a faith, not be victim to harm or discriminationexists and the benefits that diversity provides.
