The Children Act 1989 recognises every child's right to be part of a community that is free from racial discrimination, values different
backgrounds and fosters a sense of identity.
The Act requires local authorities to have regard to the different racial groups
of children in need within their area in arranging for the provision of daycare.
With this is in mind, STAR developed a set of
aims and objectives.
