Show interaction with individuals that respects their beliefs, culture, values and preferences.


the company im doing my level 3 with has given me an activity thing to get me talking and thinking about the above. ive a couple of case studies to look at and have a question on one of them hope you guys can help with. here is 1st study

You are manager of a busy nursery school and you have just hired Afia, a bright and friendly new room leader. Afia is a practising Muslim and has regular after-lunch and mid-afternoon prayer times. She needs a quiet room for prayer at these times.

ok so i dont know much about muslim religion. how long do they pray for in the sessions and would we need to allow the person extra "break time" for the prayers. can imagine an uproar with other staff members if thats the case.

thankyou in advance for any replies and help x

oh dear firstly do some research re islam and secondly look at your inclusion policy which applies to staff as well as children and you could write about the racism you think you would see, but do people really behave like that in our profession???? so glad i live in multi cultural society. i have never encountered uproar at someone praying.

i dont think anyone would be annoyed by someone having a religion but i think people would be annoyed if someone was getting extra breaks. i work alongside a child minder so our policy would be different that why i ask lol. if i was to want the time to pray as her only assistant it would be enabled to do so. we dont have propper breaks anyway to be honest we have a sit down lunch with the children. neither of us smoke and we spend all day with children dont have time for breaks :)

I live in a multi cultural society I wouldnt be annoyed, however i see many grownups acting like children spitting dummies out if someone was given extra breaks

well i found the answer for anyone interested :)

You do not have to give your employees time off and facilities for religious observance but you should try to do so when possible. For example, if you get a request for a prayer room and there is a suitable room available, you should allow staff to use it, provided it does not disrupt others
