Equality and inclusion

The commitment

Equality of opportunity is a key and integral part of the Alamiyah vision. At Alamiyah we ensure that our service is fully inclusive in meeting the needs of all children.

Our aim is to be an accessible and diverse organisation committed to the principle of equal opportunities in education regardless of a person's gender, race, sexual orientation, age, disability, religious belief, gender reassignment, pregnancy, maternity, civil partnership, marriage or any other specific factors that results in discrimination.

We aim to foster a positive atmosphere of mutual respect, tolerance and trust among parents, children and staff.

What Alamiyah aims to do

• Provide a secure environment in which all children can flourish, and all contributions are valued.

• Include and value the contribution of all families to our understanding of equality and diversity.

• Provide positive information about different groups of people including people with disabilities.

• Make inclusion a thread that runs through the entire curriculum.

• Reflect the widest possible range of communities in our choice of resources.

• Ensure that children with EAL are supported and have full access to the curriculum.

The diversity we welcome

At Alamiyah we value the diversity of families and welcome:

• The diversity of family life, working with all families with sensitivity.

• Children to contribute stories of their everyday life.

• Parents and carers to take part in the life of the setting and to contribute fully.

• Families who have a first language other than English.
