Cultural awareness

This course is endorsed by CACHE.

We are lucky to live in a culturally diverse country and many of us will work in a diverse setting. Consider how we can celebrate diversity, the meaning of cultural awareness, and why it is important in educational settings. Learn about inclusive practice and how to encourage it in our work with colleagues and children.

Learning outcomes

• You will learn that cultural awareness is an important and integral part of supporting diversity, equality, and inclusion
• You will learn that being aware of a person’s culture means understanding not only the outward expressions of that culture, but also the social aspects, intrinsic values, morals, and challenges of adapting to a different country and culture
• You will learn that the awareness of cultural similarities and differences are important within the childcare setting and are a requirement of the Early Years Foundation Stage

Advantages of this course

• Cultural awareness is an important and integral part of supporting diversity, equality, and inclusion. It is at the heart of ensuring that all children and their families are valued and respected. In an early years setting, understanding other cultures will inform inclusive practice and meets on of the standards of the EYFS.
• Additional activities encourage you to reflect on your learning
• There is also suggested extended reading that gives both practical information and links to websites to expand knowledge

On successful completion of this course, you will have the option of purchasing a CACHE certificate. This certificate must not be confused with nationally regulated qualification achievement.
