The aim of this project, based out of London, Ontario, is to create the Standard as inclusive and accommodating as possible. This Project will explore the experience of Indigenous peoples, visible minorities and European immigrant CEs. Five London-based community organizations have committed their partnership in this project.
Building on axes of diversity, including gender/ sexuality, in making the Standard as inclusive and accommodating as possible, a Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) approach will be used. The team will qualitatively explore the experience of immigrant and indigenous CEs, who are: (1) working in paid employment; (2) providing informal caregiving within the Canadian context, and/or; (3) engaging in transnational caregiving outside of Canada’s borders and, in so doing, inform the cultural competency of the Standard.
