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 about ensuring that everyone has the equality of learning opportunities for all children and young people, regardless of disabilities or background. Meeting their needs is an important right which needs to be met, and children need to be seen be part of the community. Promoting including is important, valuing diversity is an important way of doing this, and by been open to others we can include everyone in activities in a way which doesn’t exclude anyone. A number of different policies and procedures are in place are in place to make sure that this is done. Legislation’s are legal documents that are put in place for setting to follow and offer guidelines for this.
I find that the concepts of diversity, inclusion and social justice to be important because they build on each other and have the power to change the world. When all of these aspects work together and are acknowledged then we are able to work toward changing social norms and creating aspects in society that are focused on equity, rather than equality. Of course, social justice should be the goal that we as individuals want to achieve in liberating areas of our that have limited and restrained others. I connect diversity and appreciating diversity with being the foundation to this equation of equality because individuals need to understand that there will be differences between people. I enjoy the statement on, “… Who is in the room?” because it starts to explain the variations in personal characteristics within a group of people. This is going to be part of my position as an RA within Resident Life because a floor’s residence are going to have wide range in their own diversities through their age, sexual orientation, journeys to get to college, race and ethnicity, etc. I am proud to have experienced the things I have and lived and go to high school in such a place like Aurora, CO to where I was able to live and embrace a diverse community. I came to define this diversity to be normal, but coming up to CSU and Fort Collins has shown me how much of Colorado does not have the same kind of standards. The next support beam to building this idea that works toward social would be
It is also a process of understanding and identifying what the children are capable of and ensuring that everyone feels valued and have a sense of belonging. Inclusion is not seeing everyone as the same but providing everyone equal opportunities and access to a high quality of education. In such an environment, there is always a recognition and acceptance of differences and similarities. Inclusion practices should have a setting where policies and procedures of a setting can be updated to ensure they enable inclusion in the main stream. You should have a reflective approach to practice so you can see how you handle and manage situations that involve
Inclusion is making sure everyone has an equal opportunity to participate. It is a process that involves identifying, understanding
Stereotyping: This means to categorise a group of people based on certain characteristics or behaviour. For example, calling all
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.
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.
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,
Justice and Equality Cannot Coexist, For When One is Achieved the Other is Infringed Upon:
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.
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
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.
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,
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)
