Each of the module sections include a video, a series of related questions and a list of useful resources to help foster carers and professionals gain a better understanding of:
- Aboriginal Kinship systems and how they operate
- Aboriginal social structures and how these are different to Western societies
- Potential conflict in working with people from differing cultural backgrounds
- How cultural difference impacts upon Aboriginal people in the social systems which operate in Australia (through education, criminal justice systems and the legal system more broadly, etc.)
- Each module section includes a video, a series of related questions and a list of useful resources to help you learn more about the Kinship system.
