Cultural Competency: Working with ethnically minoritised Communities
Our cultural competency training is funded by Newcastle Public Health team and informed by the experiences of people from local communities through the Haref Network. It is free for health and wellbeing practitioners delivering services in Newcastle upon Tyne who wish to improve their reach of services with ethnically minoritised communities. These multi-agency sessions, delivered on Zoom, will enable participants to connect with and deliver effective services to people across minoritised communities. The sessions are 2 hour 30 minutes long with interactive exercises, videos and discussion points to take back to your organisations.
Learning outcomes
Through a combination of activities and discussion, participants will:
- Explore what do we mean by culture?
- Understand the diverse and intersecting characteristics of local communities
- Develop skills to identify barriers to accessing services
- Recognise good practice
- Feel more confident in working with different communities
After the session we provide a resource sheet with information to follow up and a post-session questionnaire to take the learning from the session and put it into practice.
