Discrimination and Children
TDA 3.6 1.1/1.2

Equality 2010

This Act was put in place to protect individuals so they will not be discriminated against age, gender, disability, race, religion, sex, civil partnership, sexual orientation. We must give a child an equal chance to participate and make appropriate resources available to reach their full potential. Children are unique individuals and have the right to be treated fairly with equal respect.

Disability Discrimination Act 1995-2005

When children with disabilities are discriminated against this causes them to loose confidence and are made to feel isolated. This policy was put in place to protect them for being disadvantaged. They should not be treated less favourably that non-disabled student without justification. They are entitled to have adjustment made for the purpose of education and association.

2.3
Evaluate how own attitudes, values and behaviour could impact on work with children and people.
In my setting, at Al-Ameen primary school every one has their own values and opinions but share the same belief and this is vital in making personalities. However as professionals working with children we must have a diverse approach. I never make sudden judgement on people or children. I am placid natured so I give children time to shine through and understand the objective. I present myself as a positive role model. As a professional working with children it is important that our attitude reflect our opinion and belief.eg. Children pray after lunchtime and I as a TA I supervise the children when they pray. However I don’t pray at that time so I never discourage them, they choose to for themselves to participate. That is their opinion and belief as an individual. It is also important I do not let my own personal opinion have an impact on the child’s judgment.

2.4
Explain how to promote anti discriminatory practice in work with children and young people.
At my setting we have children from different backgrounds and

    Our own attitudes, values and behaviour could impact on our work with children and young people as we are not neutral beings and even on a sub-conscious level me may be intimating information that impacts negatively on some children or young people. We need to be clear on our own attitudes, values and behaviour and identify how we can work on our own mindset if need be. For instance the language we use can have loaded meanings, in the way we choose to describe things or people. For instance referring to people as ‘just’ the cleaner etc implies some level of inferiority and would have negative impacts on children whose families are part of the cleaning profession.…

    If practitioners suspect or have been told by a child that their parent/carer is possibly committing a crime or is committing a crime, it depends on the seriousness of the crime as to how practitioners should deal with it. Crime can consist of many things such as; theft, benefit fraud, fraud, prostitution, dvd piracy, murder, drug taking etc. It depends on the seriousness of the crime as to whether practitioners breach confidentiality.
