Indigenous Education and Perspective
1
Professional Standpoint
I decided to work as a lead project officer for Uniting. Uniting is a social welfare organization
which offers many facilities to children and young people that includes foster care, guardianship and
adoption. My work is to recruit carers for the western NSW in order to support the children in out of
home care. I personally believe that it is necessary to understand and value indigenous perspectives as it
will give positive spirit through which indigenous and non-indigenous might engage with mutual respect
and reconciliation.
In professional standpoint, I have seen that Australia is a multicultural nation with many of races
and cultures existence. To work for the indigenous group will help the people to accept their cultural
factors and make people aware about the different culture in Australia. I am as a project leader initiate
to recruit those people who voluntarily agree to work for the welfare of children who are out of home
care and need the support so that they will also be successful and contribute towards the society in
future. To direct the children or young people is essential for development of Australia.
In order to improve the cultural competences in near future in professional aspects I think an
effective policies and procedures , valuing and accepting different cultures and allocating the needed
resources to boost the culturally behavior in all the levels of the organization will help in managing the
cultural competence (Ranzijn, Connochie, & Nolan, 2009).
Some of the ethical issues are violated in balancing these problems like every person has right to
do what he wants to do so an individual have to respect others opinion and values in workplace. My
personal belief regarding supporting the children who are out of home care is that the facilities and
carers for them are also not that effective or useful. It is not necessary that all these children get good
care and safety, even I have seen many of the social organizations where staff or carers are not that
much bothered about and make differences in taking care of the children from different communities
and always biased in their works due to racism and religion.
