Diversity, Equality And Inclusion

[Guest]

Hi I am looking for positive images of diversity....are there any ones that can be downloaded for free that anyone knows of?

 

Also what other resources do you have to support this area except the skin toned dolls??

 

Thanks

Hi, You can use google images. If you do searches for things like multi-cultural children, inclusion etc there should be lots. You have to be quite specific about what you search for though.

 

I dont know if its still available online but I have used an image pack from a set of seal/sead resources

 

If you get nursery world/eye etc there are always some nice posters in there.

 

I know there is currently mixed feelings about sparkle box but their resources always positively reflect cultural diversity, I especially like the faces playdough mats.

 

In terms of other ways to show positive images, I have attached a document I use in my support role which should give you lots of ideas. Its important to think about reflecting diversity within each area of your setting rather than just a single collection of resources.

 

Also think about positive images in books, I have also attached positive book list for you

 

Growing up global is an excellent book, if you can get your hands on a copy of that

 

Give me a shout if you need any more info
