Childrens Act 1989
- Specific action needs to be taken to ensure values are positive and reflect diversity in a non-racist way
- A day care provider still needs to have a knowledge of and positive attitude to multicultural issues when looking after white children
- For a person to be ‘fit’ to offer day care, they must be committed to treat all children as individuals and with equal concern
- Good quality child care involves giving children a realistic picture of the world in which they live and correcting distorted and prejudiced views of it
- For a person to be ‘fit’ to offer day care, they must have a knowledge of and positive attitude to multicultural issues and people of different racial origins
- Children learn racial attitudes and place values on them even during the early years
- The early years are very important for developing cultural identity
- We treat children as individuals and with equal concern when we use toys and books that positively reflect the diverse cultures and races in our society
- It is every child’s right to have an environment which enhances their development: including being part of a community which values their religious, cultural and linguistic background
