Liz Pemberton, The Black Nursery Manager, presents 'Working Towards Anti Racist Practice in the Early Years Setting'

Embedding cultures and diversity within an early years setting is a vital part of the EYFS. Children and their families will feel valued by the setting if resources and displays represent the ethnic, cultural and social diversity in society, and if they can see their own family background and culture represented as well as those of others. True inclusion means your setting will have diversity running through its core regardless of your current make-up of families on role.

Course Aim: To promote inclusive practice in the Early Years (under 5's) education sector, with a particular focus on how race, culture and anti-racism should be considered in this practice.

Session 1: Statutory and Non-Statutory Guidance: This first session will look closely at how some of the statutory and non-statutory guidance can support us to work towards anti-racist practice. We will closely examine how the Development Matters and Birth to Five Matters documents can be interpreted to support our journey towards anti-racist practice.

Session 2 : Conversations: How do we prepare ourselves for unexpected conversations about race when children ask ? This session will look at language and how we can best educate ourselves to ensure that we are equipped. This session will also look at how we engage families appropriately.

Session 3: Resources: How do you audit your existing resources to help ensure an anti-racist approach is supported in the setting ? How can we ensure that our practice goes beyond having Black dolls and a range of different coloured crayons ? How do we move towards a whole team approach to continuously work towards creating an anti-racist environment?
