recognising barriers against inclusion - attitudinal, environmental and institutional
 

hi stuck on this question
explain how to recognise attitudinal, environmental and institutional barriers to inclusion in a play environment.

Hi, attitudes that create barriers to inclusion are those that discriminate unfairly, are judgemental, show prejudice, bias, disregard, are dismissive or fearful that change will impact negatively, that the benefits of inclusion are not known or valued enough to warrant change.

Environmental barriers are those that present unacceptable levels of risk, they might be poorly designed, inaccessible or unkept areas eg. has deep or stagnant water, be a construction site, house scrap metal or discarded household appliances.

Institutional barriers are inflexible or out of date policies and procedures that prevent inclusion of individuals or groups of people.

There's excellent reading in the PDF from Devonrcc.org.uk
