Relating To Equality, Diversity And Discrimination

Identify which legislation and codes of practise relating to equality, diversity and discrimination apply to own role
Special Educational Needs and Disability Act 2001
This act applies to my own role as in my setting we have many children who have special education needs and also some disabilities in my setting, we always make sure to treat them as equal and not treat them any differently however we always make sure we meet their individual needs for instance giving a child with special education need and a child with a disability a one to one so that they have more help if they need it. For example we have a child with severe autism in my setting so that child needs a one to one so that she can get the education she needs and the
help she needs.
Racial discrimination act 1975
This act applies to my own role as at my setting we do not allow children to be racist and if we see any form of racism we make sure to deal with it straight away. For example in my setting we had a child who would only play with white children and wouldn’t play with a child of any other colour or race, we then showed the child two teachers who were different races who were really good friends and told him that its good to be friend and there is nothing wrong with playing with a child of a different race, the child took this all in and began to play with other children of different races. We also spoke to the childs parents and let them know what was going on.
