Choose one particular group of diverse children/families and provide 1 example of everyday practice that excludes the chosen group AND 1 example of everyday practice that includes the chosen group. You must discuss the following with EACH of your examples:

1. Access: Inclusion means ensuring that every child has access to early learning. Inclusive access requires early learning services to be set up and organized around a diverse community. Systemic barriers, service barriers and individual barriers must be overcome to enable inclusive access. How does the example support/prevent the particular children's access to services, programs, etc?
2. Participation: Inclusion requires meaningful participation. Inclusive early childhood education and care provides programs in which children are recognized as active agents in their learning. Meaningful participation is grounded in the overarching concepts of the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF): belonging, being, and becoming.  Include the VEYLDF practice principles which provide new information different to the EYLF. How does the example support/prevent the particular children's participation in service, program, learning, etc?
3. Outcomes: Inclusive early childhood education and care means that every child experiences positive learning outcomes in the areas identified in the EYLF, namely that they have a strong sense of identity; are connected with and contribute to their world; have a strong sense of well-being; are confident and involved learners; and are effective communicators. How does the example support/prevent the particular children's learning outcomes about the VEYLDF Outcomes etc?
