The Ethnically Diverse Education Achievement Service (EDEAS) and Devon School Library Service (Devon SLS) believe that every child should be ‘seen’ in their school and setting. This means ensuring that not only websites and publications reflect your school’s community but also your reading lists and children’s exposure to different cultures and identities. Through Equality, diversity, and inclusion pupil forums our Devon children have said they want to learn more about different identities and to celebrate all ethnicities, with one primary child saying ‘We are all different, we are individual jewels’.
Devon SLS and EMTAS have collaborated in response to this feedback by creating book lists for EYFS, KS1 LKS2 and UKS2 so that Devon children can continue their growth mindset journey. For further support any BPRI reporting setting can book a free BPRI clinic to discuss an incident, as well as their wide equality and diversity provision.
