This is the first of a series of three sessions on Explaining race in the EYFS setting. Delegates may book all three sessions or individual sessions.
This first session will look closely at how some of the statutory and non-statutory guidance can support us to work towards anti-racist practice. This session will closely examine how the Development Matters and Birth to Five Matters documents can be interpreted to support our journey towards anti-racist practice.
Session 2 : Conversations - 19 January 2023 - 10am-11.30am
How do we prepare ourselves for unexpected conversations about race when children ask ? This session will look at language and how we can best educate ourselves to ensure that we are equipped. This session will also look at how we engage families appropriately.
Session 3: Resources - 26 January 2023 - 10am-11.30am
How your resources should be audited to ensure anti-racist practice in the setting , how can we ensure that our practice goes beyond having Black dolls and a range of different coloured crayons. How do we move towards a whole team approach to continuously work towards creating an anti-racist environment?
