Unit 204 – Equality, diversity and inclusion in work with children and young people
Assignment 2
In my opinion living in a diverse society, along with understanding and knowledge is a positive route to acceptance on a variety of levels. When looking at my own life values and experiences I feel that as a person I don’t have prejudices and discrimination, however dependant on circumstances and peers I may on occasion say something deemed to be a prejudice. However the audience I have understand that this isn’t my view and that the reason behind saying something is more as a joke. For example my sister in law is Scottish, a prejudgment would be that she doesn’t like to spend money, never thinks its cold and drinks whiskey. If I

They should work together knowing this will improve the outcomes for the children around them. Showing despite differing opinions the ability to work positively with others to work through problems and conflicts without aggression can lead to them being happy with their choices and their future lives.
Adults can discriminate against each other and show their prejudices in ways that hurt or harm others. Children show they have witnessed this and been influenced by this showing the same discrimination and thinking/acting as this is an acceptable behaviour. To challenge this behaviour I feel you should intervene firmly, knowing why you feel discrimination has occurred. Question, examine the extent of prejudice and discuss reasons (Such as why boys can’t play with dolls). Be relaxed, by being aggressive or negative it could show disrespect for others opinions. Ask for support if feeling uncomfortable. By challenging discrimination this will help build self-confidence when needing to deal directly with discrimination in future.
Inclusion means that all people are given access to the same opportunities no matter what their race, gender or disabilities. It is giving equal opportunities and therefore getting rid of discrimination, as everyone has a right to develop their own skills in their own way in a way that is suitable for their needs.
Children and young people who have special
Inclusion is making sure everyone has an equal opportunity to participate. It is a process that involves identifying, understanding
The Settings: Discrimination can make an educational or any setting a difficult place for the child or young person to live in. All settings must have policies in place to deal with all forms of discrimination. The school or setting must make the child and family who are the victims feel supported at all times. They should act quickly and professionally and deal with discrimination as per government guidelines.
Inclusion means to ensure that everybody is made to feel respected and has a sense of belonging. They should feel included and be able to actively participate in activities and be valued for who they are.
Discrimination is often the underlying cause of inclusion. It means treating a person or group unfairly because of a particular characteristic, such as gender, disability, age, ethnic origin, skin colour, nationality, sexuality and/or religious belief.
Working towards inclusion means identifying barriers (real or perceived) to all children and families accessing and benefiting from what a setting has to offer on an equal footing. By breaking down those barriers we are taking steps to open up equality of opportunity and promote positive attitudes to diversity. This may mean things like having forms and notices available in different languages or formats, taking into account the needs of the families which use the setting to enable a diverse range of children and families to participate fully.
Stereotyping: This means to categorise a group of people based on certain characteristics or behaviour. For example, calling all

My next article takes us into the concept of diversity and inclusion that involves reaching over milestones we already made and prepare us for the next milestones to come. The tone in this reading is that we have diversity under our belt, so lets now use what we learned from diversity to move forward to inclusion. Inclusion in the workplace is explained as organizations incorporates the ideas, understanding and perspectives of their diverse group of employees towards the betterment of the employees and the organization. So we are now moving beyond race, sex and gender and into everyone’s human aspects. That is the thoughts, feeling and emotions within the diverse group. Inclusion will have us look at things much differently than we did
Clovia, high five!:) Thank you! Children are so impressionable and they pick up on our nonverbal cues, such as paralanguage (tone, pitch, etc.) and facial expressions. We have to be so careful too not to unintentionally cause harm in any way, such as creating a hostile environment that is remote from our desired environment that is conducive to high standards of excellence. As you state,
It was the great Mahatma Gandhi who said, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” Thus, serving as an Advisory Board member would give me an incredible opportunity to continue rising up and reaching back to my community. I would be able first, join in the conversation because I was once told “alone we are strong but as a team we are stronger”. Secondly, it would give me the favorable pleasure of brainstorming with elite diversity champions to come up with suitable ways to reinforce the importance of diversity and inclusion. I am extremely excited and looking forward to being a part of ADCOLOR Advisory Board, which will be a major steppingstone in achieving one of my life’s goals, and I believe that my passion,
need to take into account the child 's age and level of understanding when dealing with squabbles and arguments, first wait to see if they can sort it out between themselves often children do,however if they cannot we need to step in, take the time to listen to both sides of the disagreement with each child putting their point across. You might need to go right back to the begining to determine exactly what happened to upset both children, it could be simple miscommunication, or not sharing the best toy, you then need to decide what action to take and explain why, talking clearly and giving eye contact to each child when you are speaking. These little squabbles and arguments need to be dealt with before they are repeated or escalate.Even with young children they need to know boundaries and what happens if they cross
On March 22 and 23, Sabine Wade, Underwriting Manager, met with her team members to discuss the importance of Diversity and Inclusion (D&I). Employees with Colonial and CU Members’ Underwriting, Appraisal and Prefunding departments got together to talk about the company’s D&I vision, current demographics of our workforce and took part in a discussion about what D&I means to each member of the group.
Ever since I came to Drake, I have always been asking myself the same question over and over again, “Who actually am I?” and “What can I do here?” Making a distinctive decision can be disastrous sometimes when I do not know what will come next. Consequently, I at first, seemed to be manipulated by my surrounding factors. However, listening to those spectacular point of views from the panels yesterday, has apparently strengthen my principle of just being myself. Diversity, means that be yourself, share your thought and engage with others. Correspondingly, it also means understanding that each individual is unique, and recognizing our individual differences Most of the discussion discusses about how does the diversity and inclusion has affected them in the workplace and so forth. In this context, however, the topic refers to an environment where employees of different genders, ethnicity, races, religions, ages and perspectives accept each other and work together.
Justice and Equality Cannot Coexist, For When One is Achieved the Other is Infringed Upon:
Inclusion is a notion of being accepted, valued and supported equally by pricing differences. Inclusion can be practices in the organization culture to maximize the benefits of diversity. In other words, diversity is having homogenous people and inclusion is harmonizing these people to preform well together. (RBC.Com, 2015)
