I could actively challenge discrimination by acting as a role model for positive behaviour and by empowering people to challenge discrimination themselves. Discrimination usually occurs through ignorance. By making a person aware of the facts it will educate them and hopefully change their opinions and actions in the future. If for example you worked in a child care setting and found that certain activities were arranged for girls and certain ones for boys, you would approach other staff and discuss why they were separating the genders and explain the benefits of children working in mixed groups and not conforming to gender stereotypes.
This would promote changes in activities that involve mixed groups and increase staff awareness of their current practises. You should never ignore or excuse such discriminatory behaviour any more than you would ignore or excuse someone if they inflicted physical pain on someone else. Must be addressed because if you do not respond and just let the incident pass you are contributing to the person feeling that it is acceptable to speak or behave that way. To promote change you need to change people’s attitude toward other races, sexuality, religion etc.

What discrimination is and how to prevent it happening in schools. You should always challenge discrimination at school, but to do it, it is essential that you can recognise anti-discrimination practice. All schools have a discriminatory policy which all teachers and teaching assistants should read and follow. My role is to protect children and young people from discrimination, if you ignore discrimination when it happens this will be viewed as condoning. When discrimination happens it may be intentional, but it can also be because of ignorance or lack of understanding.
It is not easy to change the views of others, but you must challenge discriminatory comments and actions. It is important to learn assertiveness strategies that can help you recognise discrimination. When challenging discrimination you should: explain what has happened or what has been said that is discriminatory, you should state the effect of this on the individual, group and others, and suggest ways to ensure anti-discriminatory practice. If you consider how a child might feel when they have experience discrimination: loss of self-esteem, disempowerment, confusion, anger, lack of motivation and sometimes depression.
When child reports it, but is then ignored by the member of staff who is there to support them the chid would then feel that member of staff would share the same view of the perpetrator or believe that the way they have been treated is normal.
