Part of BASW's Taught Skills Development Programme for NQSWs Show
***Session for students & NQSWs only******Special offer price of £20 + VAT (£24) for BASW student & NQSW members***Cultural sensitivity is more than recognising differences in race or religion, it involves recognising that we are all shaped by our experiences and are influenced by cultural norms and understanding. All our interactions and communications are interpreted via cultural filters, and it is an understanding of these and how they can impact on working in teams and groups that will be the focus of the day. Diversity is about more than just difference; it is about the use of power within our society and structures, and how that power can prevent individuals and groups from accessing appropriate support and services. This one-day course will consider culture and diversity issues within groups and teams and how our experiences are shaped by our own cultural filters. Participants will be supported to explore how we can apply a culturally sensitive approach and respond to diversity in practice in order to facilitate effective team working and improve outcomes for all citizens. Learning Methods: A combination of learning methods will be used throughout the day, including lecture, workshop and group work. Interactive and experiential methods, group and pair work, and interactive activities in the form of quizzes, polls, case studies, and reflection dilemmas will be used, to inform participant learning and support application to practice.
