Description

To express its commitment to addressing health inequities for Indigenous Peoples and provide culturally safe and responsive services, Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) developed this policy to provide organizational direction for implementing cultural safety. The policy identifies five cultural safety principles that underpin VCH’s work with Indigenous clients, families, and communities; identifies three areas where cultural safety will be implemented; and articulates responsibilities of executive leadership, management, and frontline staff in ensuring cultural safety is integrated into health care for Indigenous Peoples.
