Identity, equality & culture
Diversity and Equality
Every person is unique and has their own identity. Any foster child in your care will have needs, many of these being unique to their own identity and experiences. This training is designed to be self-reflective, so we will sometimes ask you to think about how you see things, how you say things and what conscious and unconscious biases you might have.
What you will learn
- What identity, diversity and equality mean and why they are important.
- How to examine the stereotypes and biases you have.
- Skills in talking about diversity and equality in a respectful, honest and supportive manner.
- The actions you need to take to support the diverse needs of your foster child.
