Much more than awareness of cultural differences. Cultural competence is the ability to understand, communicate with, and effectively interact with people across cultures’. Cultural responsiveness is using your understanding to ensure you can provide the most positive effective interaction, service or outcome.
To work toward cultural responsiveness, individuals and organisations look internally and externally for a deeper understanding of their own culture and the cultures of the people they serve, and apply the knowledge they gain to develop culturally equitable and effective provision and services.
