Equality in Early Years

The project is part of the East Lothian Support From the Start initiative

We seek to support those working in early years services to understand more about equality and diversity and why it is important in early years services.

We aim to encourage all those working with children and young people to:

  • recognise the impact of discrimination and social inequalities on children and families
  • recognise the importance of what is learned in childhood and how this lays the foundation for a more just and equal society
  • value diversity and difference this includes differences in identities, cultures, beliefs, abilities and social practices
  • challenge negative labels and attitudes.
