Question:
Kye is a new educator and has minimal experience working within the industry. When lunch time arrives, pork and noodle stir fry is on the menu. Amend who is Jewish and isn't allowed to eat pork, is attending on this day. Kye has been informed of all children's allergies within the room along with other preferences set out by families. He is serving lunch to all of the children including Kye. The children all begin to eat the pork stir fry including Amend. Pat notices Amend is eating the pork and quickly removes the bowl from in front of him saying, 'Sorry Amend I will get you something else!' Amend frowns and puts his head down. Pat turns to Kye and says, 'Did you not know that Amend isn't allowed to eat pork?' Kye shrugs laughing and says, 'He's not allergic, just let him eat it, he was enjoying it, I don't know why people are so stupid with things they don't let their children eat.'
Questions
- Was Kye valuing and respecting diversity in this situation and embracing inclusiveness within the lunch time routine? Explain your response.
- What should Pat do now to support Amend and Kye to enable a better outcome in the future? What further actions may Kye be subjected to once this matter has been dealt with by appropriate personal within the service?
