A Policy for Excellence: developing a policy for equality in early years settings will help providers devise equal opportunities strategies, which the Department for Education and Skills requires all settings to have by 2004.
The guide says, 'In largely white areas children with no experience of meeting black people may be learning to be prejudiced. Similarly, children with no experience of people with disabilities may be learning false notions about them. It is vital that, wherever they live, all children learn to have a positive outlook and understanding of the reality of our diverse and inclusive society.' The guide costs 7 (plus 1 p&p) from EYTARN, PO Box 28, Wallasey CH45 9NP (0151 639 1778).
