Example: identify and reflect on own social and cultural perspectives and biases

Rohini has just started working in a diverse care environment. Although she is aware of her own cultural background, she has little understanding of the other cultures represented in the facility and how they might impact on the behaviour of the new individuals to whom she is providing support. To improve her cultural awareness, she asked her manager if there were any resources with ethno-specific information available for her to read. She was pleased to find out that not only were there resources, but she was about to complete some cultural competence training as part of her induction.
