TRAINER: Suzanne Munday from MECOPP, Scotland's only Black and Minority Ethnic Carers Project
The training has been designed to assist health, social work and voluntary sector practitioners develop the skills and knowledge necessary to conduct culturally competent assessments.
Carers give so much to society yet as a consequence of caring, they experience ill health, poverty and discrimination. BME carers are especially vulnerable to the latter.
This training will support those staff engaging, and yet to engage with the BME community by providing the following:
- An insight into Scotland's Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) communities through an examination of demographic data
- An overview of the relevant policy and legislation to support work with BME carers
- An exploration of the notion of 'culture', the forms it can take and its role within society
- An exploration and critical analysis of the prevalent myths and stereotypes that influence, either consciously or unconsciously, the practice of individuals and organisations
- An introduction to cultural competence and its application within the single shared assessment, and
- An introduction to effective communication with BME carers.
The training is designed to take place over one full day and is designed to be as participative as possible. Free learning materials for participants will be provided as part of the session.
