Diana Childrens Community Service - Cultural Link Worker
Our Diana cultural link worker helps with communication between health professionals and families who do not speak English or where English is their second language.
Current languages that this service can support are Urdu, Punjabi and Gujarati. The cultural link worker accompanies any of the health professionals involved in home visits, hospital appointments and meetings, helping families to open up and voice their concerns. This in turn helps professionals to provide care that is appropriate and culturally sensitive.
Our cultural link worker provides training sessions for colleagues and other professionals on cultural and religious issues.
