AnnotationThe REU (formerly the Race Equality Unit at the National Institute for Social Work - NISW) is the leading national agency working to develop appropriate social care services for Britain's black and minority ethnic communities. These learning materials, comprising a written pack and a video, are designed to help social care staff to assess needs accurately and to respond appropriately. The materials will be particularly useful for care managers, home carers, day care staff and residential workers. The written pack is arranged in four modules. Module 1 introduces the materials and discusses the values informing them. Module 2 provides up-to-date information on the social, economic and family circumstances and the mental and physical health of black and minority ethnic older people. Module 3 looks at various aspects of practice: assessment; care planning; monitoring and review; communication; emotional care; personal care; protection and abuse; relationships; faith and spirituality; organisational issues; and ethnic record keeping and monitoring. Module 4 includes the complete list of exercises used throughout. The video provides "live" examples of good practice in service provision. (RH).
