Reflective practice

- What concepts, conversations and situations are you uncomfortable with?
- In what ways might you be contributing to a social system that privileges some populations over others?
- Reflect on your own practice
- Seek to minimise power differentials
- Engage in discourse with the client
- Undertake a process of decolonisation
- Ensure that you do not diminish, demean or disempower others through your actions
To be a little less white is to be less defensive, less arrogant, less certain that I know everything I need to know and my learning is finished. Listen more, believe more, have humility, have racial humility, pay attention. People of colour are telling us what they need, we need to listen (Kelsey-Sugg & Fegan, 2018).
