New resource method highlights information for black and minority ethnic communities

19 October 2006

The Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) has provided a new 'signposting' method to draw out messages for black and minority ethnic groups in its resources.

SCIE's website now has a section for those interested in black and minority ethnic groups and includes a synopsis of each product that includes black and minority ethnic content.

Chief Executive of SCIE, Bill Kilgallon, said:

"One of SCIE's key objectives for 2006-09 is to address gaps and inadequacies in service provision for black and minority ethnic groups and seldom-heard groups. We want to ensure that issues of relevance or significance to black and minority ethnic groups and seldom-heard groups have been addressed by the work that we do. SCIE will continue to listen to our stakeholders and categorise our information and resources in the most accessible and useful way possible."
