Tool 6.1: Checklist—culturally competent approach to valued status

You can use this checklist to consider how your service can develop culturally competent service practices regarding Standard 6: Valued status. These are continuous improvement suggestions rather than required parts of the Standard.

Culturally competent service provision: Valued status 10
Things to consider:
tick
Do we have a core principle/statement/value that acknowledges and supports a positive social role for people with disability from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds?  
Do we demonstrate in the way we provide services and train staff that we value and respect the cultural, religious and linguistic background of each participant/supported employee?  
Do we liaise and network with ethnic communities, agencies, groups, individuals and forums to promote awareness of the positive value of people with disability from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds?  
Do we target ethnic communities in the delivery, promotion and development of community education, sessions and programs?  

10 Based on the MDAA document, Building Cultural Competency in the Disability Services, 2003.
