Why do we have an ethical protocol?
The ethical protocol has been developed to ensure that the dolls are used respectfully, with care and for the social justice purposes that they were designed. The ethical protocol has been developed to ensure that the Diversity Dolls are used in ways that are consistent with what was learnt through the research about how best to discuss complex issues of diversity, discrimination and equity with young children. Specifically, it is intended to ensure that the dolls are used respectfully and appropriately with young children in ways that draw on the research and that are consistent with an anti-bias or anti-discriminatory approach to issues of diversity, discrimination and equity.
