Inclusion, Equality and Diversity

Our aim at Imagine… is to ensure we support children and adults to fulfil their potential. We offer an approach to play, learning and development without unnecessary barriers, an approach that values diversity.

We will ensure that our service is fully inclusive in meeting the needs of all children, regardless of ethnic heritage, social and economic background, gender, ability or disability. Our setting is committed to anti-discriminatory practice to promote equality of opportunity and to valuing diversity for all children and families.

We recognise the importance of identifying and supporting any additional needs that children may have and do this in partnership with other appropriate professionals and agencies.

We want to promote an appreciation of the community and the wider world.

:: We aim to:
• Provide a secure and accessible environment so that all of our children can flourish.
• Value all contributions made by children and adults.
• Value the contribution of parents and family members.
• Promote a positive non-stereotyping approach to gender roles, diverse ethnic and cultural groups and disabled people.
• Improve our knowledge and understanding of issues of anti-discriminatory practice, promoting equality and valuing diversity.
• Ensure that inclusion is a part of everything we do and not a separate issue.
