Equality, Diversity and Inclusion at Mon Ami Equality - is giving all people equal opportunity’s, not treating every one the same but giving everyone the same options and opportunity’s and recognising their differences and enabling them to have the same opportunities. Diversity - is the differences between people and groups such as gender, ethnicity, family structure, disability, sexuality, culture, religion, appearance and more. Inclusion - is the process of identifying understanding and breaking down barriers to participation and belonging. Discrimination - Discrimination is treating some one less or more favourably than other people as they or their family are seen as belonging to a particular group or society. Children experience discrimination due to many reason such as the colour of their skin, traditions, their way of life, family values, gender, social back ground, nationality, disability, language and many more. Discrimination has many effects not just emotional and mental, when someone is being discriminated against they may be being denied advantages and opportunities that others have, excluded from certain things, discrimination can have a huge effect on self esteem and development. Most importantly children’s can be denied the chance to fulfil their potential. Inclusive practise at Mon Ami Inclusion is the opposite of discrimination by promoting inclusion we are supporting equality and diversity and challenging discrimination. Inclusions requires us to look at the barriers to all families and children attending and who could attend the Nursery. We need to work towards removing these barriers and to ensure they are broken down. This intern is promoting equality and diversity. At Mon Ami we are committed to giving every child the opportunity to learn and develop through play. Mon Ami has an Equal opportunities and inclusion policy to help ensure this happens for all children regardless of their age, gender, race, ethnicity, ability and background. Mon Ami provides equal opportunities for children by: Providing an environment where all children are fully accepted and integrated. Overcoming any potential barriers to children’s learning and development - seeking further help and advice when required. Talking and listening to each individual child. Providing children with fun and exciting learning challenges. Providing children with positive images through play. Supporting children’s positive roles in play. Responding to children’s diverse needs. Encouraging respect for other people and cultures. Challenging discrimination and prejudice. At Mon Ami we work hard to ensure inclusion and promote equality and diversity, as you enter the building there is welcome signs in many languages, we have access for wheel chairs and we have pictures around the room and in books of a diverse range of people. We teach children to see the difference in others in a positive way and to be respectful towards all people. We ensure that all children are given the same opportunities even though they may not be treated all the same as they are treated as individuals with individual needs for example if we were baking cakes and we have a child with an egg allergy we would have to make sure the child has the same opportunity as the children with out allergies so we would look at the situation and see how we could change what we were doing to make sure this child was included, so we would make egg free cookies instead so all the children can join in together.
