Cultural Safety

Cultural safety is both a direct departure from and an extension of cultural competency (Brascoupé & Waters, 2009), being positioned at one end of a continuum that begins with cultural awareness, moves through cultural sensitivity and cultural competency, and ends with cultural safety as a step-wise progression (Ramsden, 2002; Koptie, 2009).
