Anti-discriminatory practice is promoted by treating all the children fairly, regardless of their race, gender, religion or way of living. It is important that children are not treated the same, but they are treated with dignity and respect. For example in a nursery, if you had one child who can feed themselves you would give them their lunch and they could carry on and eat themselves. But if another child could not feed themselves then you would help them to eat their lunch. So you are treating these two people differently, but giving them both the opportunity to have lunch. Also, if somebody else was vegetarian, then you would provide them with a vegetarian lunch. So you are treating them differently too, but giving them the same opportunity. But it's also giving them respect and dignity. It would be disrespectful, bad practice and discriminatory to put a lunch in front of somebody who couldn't feed themselves and just leave them like that, and same for giving a vegetarian a lunch that contained meat.
One problem that can occur when treating the children equally is that if a child needs special attention, then by including that child, and helping them, it is then excluding the other children, and they may not get the attention they might need. This can be overcome by all members of staff being diverse in their actions and making sure that every child is treated as an individual. This is from the Every Child Matters Guidelines. Another problem that could happen in a care home is if a resident is not very friendly, and a staff member do not get along with them, so they do not help them as much as they do the other residents. This is a way that promoting equality can be difficult, but to ensure that it is, the staff need to be trained to deal with stressful purposes, even when a resident is...
