TLE are signed up to the Men in the Early Years (MITEY) Charter. The MITEY Charter is a pledge for nurseries, pre-schools, childminders, nannies and other early years education settings across the UK.
Being signed up to the Charter is a great way to demonstrate and value men’s potential to contribute positively to the care and education of young children and are taking steps to bring them into the workforce.
These are the five points that make up the MITEY Charter:
- We value men’s capacity to care for and educate children, both within families and as professionals.
- We value the benefits to children of being educated and cared for by a diverse, mixed gender early years workforce.
- We acknowledge that the early years education should benefit from early years talent of all, so we are actively seeking to create a workforce that includes men, women and people of with gendered or non-gendered identities.
- We are committed to removing the obstacles that stand in the way of mixed gender in the early years’ workforce, including low pay and status, limited career progression and gender discriminatory treatment.3
- We view early years education as a critical context in which to address gender inequality and stereotypes, for the benefit of children and wider society.
