Anti-discriminatory - doesn't need to be too long if your assessor has said half a page. Perhaps you only need to talk about legislation briefly. She will want to see how you are actually practising it.

You just need to put it across that you follow national regulations and your settings policy and procedures (and possibly have a photo copy of them). You ensure when recruiting that applicants are informed that you will not tolerate discriminatory behaviour towards children and their families; that your setting includes every child and their family. Staff are also given training so they can understand more and reinforce the practise of including everyone equally and act non-bias.

How do you follow this at your setting?

By welcoming everyone, accepting them for who and what they are, by including them in everything and also by including yourself and the setting in everything. You encoruage children and their families to celebrate their culture and festivals/celebrations with you. You treat children and their families, with respect, you value them and you include them.

You may then want to add an example of how you and your setting does this?
Children and their families may come in so give a demonstration or talk, they may lend (or give) you objects and resources for a festival.

You could also briefly say that you celebrate something such as Chinese New Year, American Independence Day etc and say briefly what and how you do this.

I hope this helps a little.
