observe and understand the children's behaviours as a form of communication.
We promote an individual’s identity and develop everyone’s cultural awareness. Children are encouraged to be open-minded about values and cultures whilst always respecting people’s differences and ensuring everyone is treated equally and fairly. Every effort is made to respect and whenever possible to meet each child's individual needs and promote their welfare, taking into account their gender, reli gion, ethnicity, cultural and linguistic background, sexual identity, mental health, any disability they may have or have reflected in any previous assessments/ experiences. Key working will be competed with children to continue to support them with their understanding. Our children are encouraged to take part in activities which reflect their diversity of race, culture, religion, language and abilities. Birthdays, cultural and religious festivals are celebrated with regular different theme for evening meals, as appropriate. As part of the planning and admission stage, this will be discussed and plans will be put in place for meeting specific needs, which will be agreed with the child and their placing Authority. Our staff will always support the child to express his or her feelings in pursuit of their beliefs and will support them to accommodate such request.
