Diversity-Informed Tenets for Work with Infants, Children and Families (The Tenets)
The Tenets are aspirational principles of best practices in the field of infants, children and families. Each of the 10 Tenets call attention to the wide range of ways that intersecting, interacting, interconnected, and interdependent systems of oppression (see Core Concepts) influence the lives of children, families, professionals, organizations, and systems of care. The central principle of the Tenets centers our work to deepen self awareness of our identities, history, and experiences with the various systems of oppression as individuals, organizations, and systems of care toward the highest standards of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.
