FACE-TO-FACE WORKSHOP: Diverse Beginnings - Enhancing Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in Early Years & Childcare Settings, led by Birmingham City Council (BCC) Early Years & Childcare Service.
Improved for 2026-27, this engaging and reflective workshop supports early years and childcare professionals to embed equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging across all aspects of practice.
Location: Osborne Nursery School, Station Road, Erdington B23 6UB
Delegates will:
- Explore how equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging can be embedded throughout leadership, policies, environments and everyday practice.
- Develop a deeper understanding of intersectionality and recognising the whole child, considering how factors such as SEND, culture, language, family circumstances and socioeconomic disadvantage can influence children's experiences.
- Reflect on the impact of representation, unconscious bias, microaggressions and assumptions on children, families and colleagues.
- Increase understanding of the Equality Act 2010, including the anticipatory duty to make reasonable adjustments.
- Explore protected characteristics, allyship and belonging, and consider how practitioners can actively promote inclusive and equitable experiences for all.
- Share experiences and learn alongside colleagues in a supportive environment that encourages professional reflection and discussion.
- Access practical tools, local support and resources to help embed learning within their own setting.
This in-person workshop is suitable for practitioners, leaders and managers who are committed to creating environments where every child, family and colleague feels valued, included and able to thrive.
NOTE: Pre-session reading material will be provided to establish a shared understanding of key concepts and support meaningful discussion during the workshop.
