Case study
Arinya, an Yolngu Aboriginal educator, understands English but prefers to speak in her first language of Yolngu Matha.
Arinya has been employed at your service as part of your direct team. She takes responsibility for all communication with all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people using the service.
Some educators in the service tell you they are having difficulty communicating with Arinya. They also feel that Arinya should teach the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander parents to speak English. They say that sometimes they would feel more comfortable if the families just did not come at all.

1. Identify a communication issue that may be affecting the relationship between Arinya and the educators. The educators must show respect to Arinyas culture and the families too; They must encourage diversity by sharing cultural experiences with Arinya.
