And...

Formulate procedural guidelines for the environment that needs to be created to ensure that resources, experiences and attitudes demonstrate inclusivity and acceptance/support for diversity, including how the ensure the following aspects: All staff members are aware of the procedures and meet their requirements.

What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
Nothing as of yet. Just trying to get ideas first.

Description and Message:

hey I am struggling with the same exact question, what did you come up with?

Procedural guidelines for the environment:
*Ensuring that all resources are multicultural, E.g. Cultural foods in home corner, books, dress ups, puzzles, art activities.
*Keeping up to date with important cultural events by asking families from all backgrounds what they specifically celebrate and incorporate it into the program and centre activities.
*When the policy gets updated, send around a memo including the updates policy to ensure all staff are up to date with the 'inclusion and cultural diversity' policy.
