Early Years Minister Jayne Bryant has welcomed guidance aimed at creating an anti-racist culture in childcare settings in Wales during a launch event in North Wales.
The toolkit provides clear and practical advice for childcare providers on a range of anti-racist topics. It will be available for those working in childcare, early years and play sectors in Wales.
It was developed by a consortium of five childcare and play partners – Cwlwm - and the Diversity and Anti-Racist Professional Learning organisation (DARPL). Childcare and playwork settings, Welsh Government, community mentors and a range of individuals with lived experience were also involved in its development.
It will provide settings and staff with advice about steps they can take to ensure the environment they create and the provision they offer is anti-racist.
It also supports settings to build relationships with parents and the local communities to promote understanding about people from different backgrounds.
The toolkit reinforces ambitions from the Anti-Racist Wales Action Plan, which aim to ensure that everyone, regardless of their background, has access to high-quality, culturally responsive childcare and educational experiences.
