The fundamental British values of democracy, rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance for those with different faiths and beliefs are implicitly embedded in the 2014 Early Years Foundation Stage.
Separately, the Counter Terrorism and Security Act also places a duty on early years providers "to have due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism" (the Prevent duty).
On the website https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/prevent-duty-guide, you may get statutory guidance on the responsibility.
To help demonstrate what this means in practice, we have worked up the following examples based on what is in the statutory guidance.
They are just that examples - and not exhaustive, but hopefully useful to you.
We have shared these with DfE who agree they are helpful examples.
Managers and staff can encourage children to see their role in the bigger picture, encouraging children to know their views count, value each other's views and values and talk about their feelings, for example when they do or do not need help.
Staff can collaborate with children to create the rules and the codes of behaviour, for example, to agree the rules about tidying up and ensure that all children understand rules apply to everyone.
Children should develop a positive sense of themselves.
Managers and leaders should create an ethos of inclusivity and tolerance where views, faiths, cultures and races are valued and children are engaged with the wider community.
Staff should promote diverse attitudes and challenge stereotypes, for example, sharing stories that reflect and value the diversity of children's experiences and providing resources and activities that challenge gender, cultural and racial stereotyping.
A minimum approach, for example having notices on the walls or multi-faith books on the shelves will fall short of 'actively promoting'.
failure to challenge gender stereotypes and routinely segregate girls and boys.
failure to challenge behaviours (whether of staff, children or parents) that are not in line with the fundamental British values of democracy, rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance for those with different faiths and beliefs.
