List the five (5) principles of cultural safety, and provide an example of each.

1. Principle 1 Reflect on your own practice. Self-Reflection is defined as giving serious thought to one’s own character and action. It is about self-awareness, being aware of how our own beliefs and values, families and community influence how we interact with others. Peer review, feedback from colleagues and clients, debrief, one on one supervision.
2. Principle 2 Minimise the power differentials between yourself and your clients. Balancing the power relationships between yourself and the client. Working alongside them or with them. It can involve negotiating and change to provide a service that doesn’t alienate the client from the organisation. Is it possible for the client to make the decisions? If not, why?
3. Principle 3 Engage in a conversation with the client. Building relationships with the client, talking and engaging with the client. Both Ways Learning including sharing. Local contacts with Indigenous knowledge. Fostering relationships with Indigenous workers, acknowledge them. Cultural mentors. LISTEN….
4. Principle 4 Undertake a process of decolonisation. Learning and acknowledging the role that colonisation and history has impacted on Indigenous people and their lives. Learn the history of the community, people & families. Learn about your own personal history and how it has affected your lives. Learn the history of the system that you work in and the impact it has had on the clients.
5. Principle 5 Treat people regardful of their cultural or individual differences. Do not demean, diminish or disempower others through your action. Diversity between cultures.
