The world is racially and culturally diverse. This fact is widely reflected in most towns and cities in the Western world. Staff in health and welfare services are working with increasing numbers of people from racial minority communities. If professional standards are to be maintained then it is of paramount importance that services are offered from a multiracial/multicultural perspective. What this means in practice is that those providing services must have the appropriate attitudes, knowledge and skills to enable them to meet the needs of individual service users regardless of racial origin or cultural background.
