1)Provide two examples of program considerations that could be introduced to foster a culturally safe environment at an education and care service?
I understand what a culturally safe environment is, however I am confused on what a program consideration could be?

2)What do you need to ensure when you are implementing strategies to foster a culturally safe environment for Indigenous people at your service?


3)What resources could you incorporate to foster the participation of all Indigenous children in meaningful and culturally sensitive learning experiences at the service?
Does this mean posters, art etc?

Hi Lorina.

Thank you for replying. However, the link isn't letting me open it? Can you maybe please link it again.

Thanks.

Provide two examples of program considerations that could be introduced to foster a culturally safe environment at an education and care service.

Could a program consideration be:

Invite an Aboriginal Elder in the centre to talk to and teach the children about the history of the land, how aboriginal ancestors took care of the land, how they lived, their language, how the foraged for food etc.
