How do we provide support for communities in our culturally diverse society? New Research in Practice resources seek to conceptualise effective practice when working across cultures.
Talking about culture is a way of talking about the way people live their lives – encompassing different traditions, beliefs and values. It is intertwined with religion, socioeconomic status and ethnicity. The UK is a multicultural country and this means some cultural boundaries are increasingly blurred, especially in bigger cities. Tensions may rise due to structural and systemic factors such as poverty, insecure housing, discrimination and language barriers. We need therefore to provide effective support for our diverse communities, particularly in light of the alarming rise of violence, racism and riots.
In an open access podcast we conceptualise culture and what this means for the way that we support people from a range of backgrounds. The podcast accompanies a new briefing that focuses on the impact of cultural contexts and research evidence that make the case for developing culturally appropriate care. A new blog also seeks to recognise and understand the complex nuances that relate to migration.
The resources aim to advance inclusivity, equity and diversity to support sector colleagues who are working with people across our diverse communities.
This frontline briefing discusses concepts and frameworks for delivering person-centred care and support for the UK's culturally diverse communities.

Many of us are alarmed and angry as communities across the country experience violence, racism, and riots. We want to support sector colleagues who are working with people and communities affected by violence.
War, conflict and trauma is happening around the world with many people displaced through combat and violence. In this blog we consider some of the key themes to supporting people from war affected areas including trauma-informed and rights-based approaches.
In our short clip below, Luciann Blake explains the nuances involved with working with culture in social care and how building an understanding is important to providing effective support. The clip is taken from the new open access podcast.
