Paragraph 17 Manner in which the childcare provision is organised
No child is refused the provision of childcare or, in the provision of childcare, treated less favourably than another child by reason of—
the race, home language, family background or gender of the child,
the religion or belief of the child or his parents, or
any disability or learning difficulty (within the meaning of section 312(2) of the Education Act 1996f1) which the child may have.
In relation to a physical feature which makes it impossible or unreasonably difficult for disabled children to make use of the childcare the registered person is treated as complying with this paragraph if he has complied with the duty in section 21 of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995f2.
