Inclusion & Statement Policy

| Policies & Procedures
Some issues may be brought into the early childhood service by the child,
arising from comments made by adults outside the setting. Recognise when
it is an adult issue, and identify appropriate actions for addressing the issue
with the child's parent or guardians.
An incident should be considered from the perspective of all individuals
involved as well as those who witnessed it. Appropriate actions need to be
taken, at circle time or in group discussion, in order to address incidents
witnessed by children who were not involved. This does not mean singling
out children in the group.
By showing empathy and expressing our feeling, we can help children to
express their feelings.
It is important to be aware of how our own attitudes can shape how we
respond to a given situation. Be mindful that early childhood practitioners are
role models for the children and the early childhood service. Children will do
as we do.
