Reviewed by Gina Houston, vice-chair, Early Years Equality

Jennie Lindon is not afraid of tackling difficult issues in this book and Part One clearly states the necessity for practitioners to challenge their own attitudes and examine common racist statements made during everyday interactions.

She emphasises that we all have prejudices learnt through our own cultural practices, but puts this in a 'no blame' perspective and gives practical suggestions for change. The book also details the legal responsibilities of settings regarding equality practice and gives some useful definitions of common terms.
