Dealing With Discriminatory Behaviour

Discriminatory behaviour has no place in any early years setting. A clear policy addressing discriminatory behaviour ensures that everyone, including children, staff, and parents, understands their role in promoting equality and respect.

This policy outlines what constitutes discrimination, including direct discrimination, indirect discrimination, harassment, and victimisation. It also sets out the responsibilities of staff in fostering an inclusive environment and the steps to take if discriminatory behaviour is observed or reported.
