Try some questions from the course

Question 1 of 3

What might the family's silence mean?

 

Silence is often caution. The family later said they felt judged at the door.

Lesson 1, Why cultural safety matters in services, teaches this. See the outline

Question 2 of 3

Which statement is a myth?

 

Neglect is not a group trait. Over-representation has historic and ongoing causes.

Lesson 3, Spot the myth, teaches this. See the outline

Question 3 of 3

What is the best way to start with a quiet family?

 

Explaining your role and offering choice builds safety.

Lesson 4, What would you do?, teaches this. See the outline
