Childcare practitioners have an ethical and legal responsibility to take into account children's cultural, ethnic, religious and linguistic backgrounds. This updated handbook covers various topics, including what is meant by anti-discriminatory practice, a guide to major religious beliefs and the role of play. It encourages readers to reflect on the issues explored and provides case studies to link theory and practice.
