LGBT Diversity and Inclusion in Early Years Education

Children and families come in all shapes and sizes, as do members of staff. This book will support you in thinking about LGBT issues in relation to your early years practice. It examines the broader legislative and historical context and the diversity of families with LGBT members alongside practical guidance to help you ensure that all children, families and staff feel welcomed and celebrated in your setting. The emphasis throughout is on valuing children as individuals and working in partnership with parents and carers to meet their specific needs. Including case studies, reflective questions and links to the EYFS, this book will be valuable reading for all early years practitioners and students that want to promote an inclusive environment for the children in their care.
