 May's coronavirus insight report Our COVID-19 Insight reports highlight the coronavirus-related pressures faced by the services we regulate. This month's insight report looks at the impact of the pandemic on access to dental services, and gives examples of good practice and collaboration across local services to deliver care for people with cancer, or suspected cancer. We also update our regular data, including the number of deaths of people in care homes and of people detained under the Mental Health Act. |  Supporting culturally appropriate care It's always been vital that people giving care are sensitive to people's cultural identity or heritage. The pandemic has made this even more important because it has been difficult for families and communities to come together. Cultural identity or heritage can cover a range of things. For example, it might be based on ethnicity, nationality or religion. Or it might be to do with the person's sexuality or gender identity. Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people have a particular culture. So do Deaf people who use British Sign Language. Our new web resource for adult social care providers explains why culturally appropriate care is important and highlights example of good practice. It aims to help providers to think about different ways culture can affect care. |  Have your say: Help shape our work Our CitizenLab service helps you shape the work that we do.
