Hi this is my answer so far and the feedback I've had from my assessor
Outlined below are legislation and codes of practice relating to equality, diversity and discrimination that apply to own work role, all settings have policies and procedures in place that must be followed at all times including Equal opportunities policy and Special Needs policy. Within my setting we have an Equal opportunities policy and a Special needs policy in place that is followed correctly on a daily basis. The policies bring together all the main points from various acts.
• Conventions on right of the child UN 1989
• The Special Needs and Disability Act (SENDA 2001)
• The Race Relations Act 2000
• The Equality Act (2010) – this act brings together all previous acts relating to equality and discrimination, in my setting we have an Equal opportunities policy that must be followed at all times, it states that all children and adults within the setting are respected and their individuality potential is recognised and all children with special needs have equal access to the nursery wherever possible.
• The Human Rights Act 1998
• The Special Educational Needs and Disability Act 2001
For 2.1, if you this about what the legislations say about equality and
diversity, what does that mean about the way you should treat children or
adults from a different culture or with a disability or need, does your
setting need to provide specific access or facilities for disabled? What
about adapting activities? You need to saybhowthe legislations relate to
your day to day practice.
