Gender Issues Group Top Ten Childrens Books 1998

Written by Clair on Thursday 9th February 2012

In 1988, the charity celebrated it's first 10 years by compiling a list of our favourite, at the time, books that we felt reflected boys and girls, men and women, males and females in a positive way, with no gender stereotyping!

So, especially  resurrected from our archive, here is the original list. Which books would you include now?

Gender Bias

Written by Clair on Thursday 9th February 2012

Q: What do these have in common? Winnie the Pooh, Thomas the Tank Engine, Rupert the Bear, Postman Pat, Fireman Sam, Spot the Dog, Pingu, Noddy, Bob the Builder….

A: They all have male leading and supporting roles, and subordinate female roles. What effect could this imbalance have on the minds of our young children?

Welcome To Our Fabulous New Website!

Written by Clair on Sunday 4th September 2011

This is the start of a new era for ECP. We shall use the web pages to keep our members, friends and followers up to date with our sessions, events and what is important in the world of young children, their carers and those who work with them. We shall welcome chance encounters from those who find us through casual web searches, looking for all good things about equalities and inclusion issues and children, gender stereotyping, men in childcare and we are still, after all these years, waving the flag for the anti-bias curriculum!
