Promoting social inclusion and respect for diversity in the early years

After introducing to our readers the first of the Foundation’s new areas of work in Early Childhood Matters 107, this issue takes a close look at the second of three new programme areas which guide our work: ‘Social inclusion and respect for diversity’. This is not a completely new area for the Foundation. We started working on respect for diversity in the late 1990s and have supported the development of many school and childcare-centre curricula that promote respect for diversity and positive social identities, with strong emphasis placed on parental involvement.
