Confident to Ask: Ready to Respond DVD

A new training resource has been developed to help staff see inequalities sensitive practice in action.

Confident to Ask: Ready to Respond was developed by the Inequalities Sensitive Practice Initiative (ISPI) - a Scottish Government funded initiative managed by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.

The DVD was produced in response to practitioners' requests for a resource that would be helpful in translating the theory of inequalities sensitive practice into the reality of everyday work practices.

The DVD contains acted scenarios set in each of the following settings (click to see clips):

• Maternity Services
• Children's Services
• Addiction Services
• Primary Care Mental Health

All scenarios depicted explore issues relating to Gender Based Violence (GBV) and as such this resource will be useful for workforce development in relation to the Scottish Government's recent guidance on routine enquiry into GBV.

Although the scenarios occur in specific settings and explore particular issues relating to inequalities, this resource should be viewed as one that can be used for workforce development across a wide range of equality issues and service settings.

The DVD comes complete with comprehensive guidelines on how it can be used. These include key learning objectives and questions for facilitating group discussions.
