Evaluating the application of CPSBC’s Indigenous Cultural Safety, Cultural Humility, and Anti-racism practice standard

Practice standard

Share

From spring 2023 to spring 2024, CPSBC conducted an evaluation of its Indigenous Cultural Safety, Cultural Humility, and Anti-racism practice standard. The standard aims to establish CPSBC’s zero tolerance for Indigenous-specific racism, set clear practice expectations for registrants, and provide various learning resources to help them apply the standard in their practice. The purpose of the evaluation was to assess registrants' awareness of the standard and understand how it is being applied in practice.

The evaluation involved a multi-step process, including a survey, one-on-one interviews conducted by an external consultant, and focus groups.
In summary, the survey revealed low overall awareness of the standard across the profession and highlighted the need for more resources and support. 

The evaluation report outlines the methods used and solid recommendations for increasing awareness. 

Thank you to all registrants who participated and shared their feedback as part of this important evaluation initiative. 

As a reminder, the ºÚÁÏÉç has resources available to enhance learning about cultural safety and humility.
