Working with culturally and linguistically diverse teams in the home care sector - For team leaders and managers (online) - May2024

Overview

Twenty one percent (21%) of the total direct care workforce identify as being from a culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) background. This workshop builds capability in managers and team leaders to be more responsive and confident when working with culturally diverse workers and team members. Culturally responsive practice training is a reflective process that will help leaders gain an insight into their own culture, behaviour and work practices. It will build awareness on how leaders can play a role in creating safe and inclusive work environments and harness the power of diversity within their team members.

Content includes:

1. Defining diversity and inclusion 
2. A framework for culturally responsive practice 
3. Unpacking ‘culture’ and finding the common ground to work collaboratively 
4. Managing unconscious bias 
5. Intersectionality and addressing disadvantage
