CALD Courses for Waitemata DHB
A recently completed project for the Waitemata District Health Board (WDHB), led
by Perrin Rowland of the GFU, was the development of an online version of the WDHBs
successful Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) training module. The first
of four modules went live a few weeks ago, with three more to follow over the next 18 months.
The Race Relations Commissioner, Joris de Bres, writing in the Human Rights Commission
(HRC) April Newsletter, On the Bright Side, acknowledged the WDHB for this
development: ‘For the Culturally and Linguistically Diverse website, 2010. WDHB's
Asian Health Support Services group have transported the highly successful CALD
learning tools and resources to the web, making the training accessible to a wider
audience. This step completes Phase 2 of a five phase plan.
In line with Ministry of Health requirements and in response to an increasingly
diverse population, CALD courses teach health practitioners how to provide services
that "acknowledge the diversity of cultures and ensure services are accessible,
culturally appropriate, effective and safe."
The new website also hosts links, news, a forum and electronic toolkits, and is
intended to grow. They have also developed a 24-7 Waitemata Auckland Translation
and Interpreting Service (WATIS) for primary and secondary care services and a range
of Asian culture-specific services for the DHB.
Visit CALD's new website: www.caldresources.org.nz
Our congratulations go to Perrin and the team she assembled for this project.
