Equalities quality checks - help please

[Guest]

I have been asked to develop an equalites checklist and would really like some help from all you lovely people out there. The purpose is for the checklist to be used to do checks in several settings and Children's Centres, perhaps 2 or 3 times each year to see if they are inclusive in terms of gender, sexual orientation, race, creed etc. It would need to cover having positive images, books showing ethnic diversity etc. but also monitoring if families and staff accessing the setting/Centre reflect the ethnic mix in the community, if materials are available in community languages - and lots more.

All ideas will be extremely gratefully received.

Thank you

Who have you been asked to do this by? I hope you are getting paid. This is a massive undertaking and sounds similar to a research project I did for my Foundation Degree. A lot of work.

Good luck x

if you can get the old "index of inclusion" document you will have all your questions answered!
