Hi, these are good for asking yourself a few questions
'How do you react when someone expresses an idea or a cultural view that you instantly feel you disagree with?
Do you feel a person/child's diversity puts/can put distance between you?
Do or can you show you accept similarities and differences by not challenging the view or information/diversity?
Do you try to identify and agree with aspects you feel are similar to your own views/what you feel is appropriate?
Can you try to recognise why you feel opposed to any differences?
Do you look for ways to include diversity so that everyone feels it is accepted?
Where this hasn't been possible do you still show you value the diversity by supporting it, engaging and looking into it further?
Do you recognise the barriers that may prevent you from doing that?
Valuing diversity in your setting is demonstating how important you feel each individuals right to being there is. Children's resilience can be damaged if they are made to know or realise that what they beleive, know or act on - opinion/tradition/cultural differences is different to those around them, promote resillience and protect well being by explaining and reassuring how their own views are good and right to have, ensure they know that not everyone does have the same ideas, information, environments, family and background.
Prevent discrimination and value diversity from buisnesslink - if possible try to read it as if you're working alongside colleagues, children and parents rather than as an employer.
