| Annotation | This chapter aims to identify some of the ways in which ethnicity can affect social relations of caring, and the accessibility and appropriateness of service provision. The author points to inadequate knowledge and understanding of the nature and meaning of caring within minority communities, with regard to ethnic identity, gender, class, and disability. Service providers need to develop services in collaboration with black and ethnic minority service users. There is also a need for a strategic approach to racial equality which considers ethnic groups' concepts of caring. |
