Protected characteristics is the term used in The Equality Act 2010 to describe who is protected by law. Protection varies on whether a person is at work or using the service.

These are: disability; sex (gender); gender reassignment; pregnancy and maternity; race; religion or belief; sexual orientation; and age.

Young children naturally expect professionals to care about, understand, value and respect them and their family life, language and culture. If these expectations aren’t realised, instead of developing a sense of belonging and wellbeing within the new situation, there is a risk that children will feel isolated, insecure or excluded.

p7

Every child and family is entitled to recognition of their own culture, identity, language and histories and to these being met by high quality, equitable provision in our ELC and school settings. Knowing that receiving settings will always make time to see and get to know each child and their family as a unit, is fair and just.
