Culturally Appropriate Care Guide

As we Celebrate Black History Month, take the opportunity to improve your care services with our free resource: The Culturally Appropriate Care Guide. This comprehensive guide helps care providers across England, Scotland, and Wales deliver person-centred care that respects the cultural identities of service users.

Aligned with Regulatory Standards

Our guide is fully aligned with the expectations of regulators across England (CQC), Scotland (Care Inspectorate), and Wales (Care Inspectorate Wales). These regulatory bodies require social care providers to deliver person-centred care that respects cultural and spiritual needs, ensuring inclusivity and dignity in care. By using this guide, you’ll not only improve your care delivery but also ensure you meet these essential regulatory standards.

Why You Need This Guide

Culturally appropriate care is more than awareness—it’s about promoting diversity, respect, and inclusivity. Cultural identity or heritage covers a wide range of aspects, including ethnicity, nationality, and religion, as well as sexuality and gender identity.

By implementing these principles, you’ll create a more inclusive, person-centred care environment that meets the needs of diverse service users.
