Elevating how services approach cultural connections with children
Strategy
Effective culturally responsive strategy requires a proactive and consistent response that involves:
-
Actively recruiting and maintaining a culturally diverse workforce.
-
Recognising the value of and seeking collaboration and partnership with external stakeholders to promote and enhance culturally responsive practices.
-
Building relationships, sharing resources, and prompting collaborative learning about culturally responsive practice across the child and family and human services sectors.
-
Valuing contributions to sector capacity building which includes community and sector-based collaborative child protection awareness and education activities.

CulturalWorks recognises that culturally proactive strategy requires multi-pronged lenses which include an ongoing commitment at an individual, systems and organisational level.
