Hi, a warm welcome to the site

Attitudinal discrimination and an individual's discriminative attitude could be shown by making the statement 'why change, it's always been done that way' another stereotypical example might be someone questioning why men want to work in childcare.

Environmental are fixtures, buildings, items, access points that could adapt to be inclusive but aren't - steps no ramp, doors not wide enough for wheelchair access or gravel paths that make it difficult for walking aid users, toilet facilities with no changing room, toys and resources that aren't inclusive and do not promote diversity.

Institutional involves an organisation's individuals, committees, senior management teams who have the power to change policies, procedures, funding allocations, to value equality and inclusion without bias but do not - for adults and colleagues this could involve favourable pay scales based on gender, employment or enrolement of children based on national origin or religious belief, situations where children/adults bullying and intimidation against other minority groups goes unchallenged or complaints aren't acted on.

This case study scenario looks at what can be done for a child from a traveller background, from a professional attitudinal and institutional (how the setting operates) perspective. Another example might be a young child refusing to hold the hand of a child with an African-Caribbean descent. How would you respond to this, what resources would you add to the environment to counter this discrimination and what does the setting expect staff to do in these situations?
