Cultural Barriers to Accessing Children’s Palliative Care

Led by the Support Me charity, this webinar will explore the cultural, religious, and language barriers that can prevent families from accessing palliative care. They’ll discuss approaches to building trust and delivering culturally competent care.

Part of the ‘Together We Learn’ Webinar Series

Each month we shine a spotlight on areas of practice, experience, and need that are often under-represented in conversations about children’s palliative care. By creating space for these discussions, we aim to amplify the voices of families, communities, and professionals who are too often overlooked, and to share learning that can improve equity and access to care.

The series will bring together charities, professionals, families, and other experts to explore lived experiences, research insights, and practical information. Each session will be interactive, with opportunities to ask questions and connect with others working across the children’s palliative care sector.
