The changing ethnic and cultural landscape in the UK means that increasingly there is a need to ensure that service provision reflects the diverse needs of the wider community. Whether your organisation is a local government department or NHS body, you might be seeking support in your diversity strategy to improve accessibility in service provision and wider community engagement.

At Ki-Rin we have the skills and experience to support you with this. We work in partnership public and third sector organisations to help them walk the talk with their equality, diversity and inclusion strategies.

We provide a comprehensive range of services for the provision of specialist knowledge based advice. We will bring objectivity and a fresh insight to work with ingrained behaviours, cultures and ways of thinking and provide you with the ideas, tools and practical solutions that can help make a real difference.

Ki-Rin’s services include training, consultancy, research, facilitation and coaching.

Case Studies

Equality in accessing primary care services

Access to primary care should be available to all communities. However, research shows that experiences of access and take up of services often vary among different sections of the community. Evidence points to the fact that Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) communities often face disadvantages in accessing primary care services. Ki-Rin was commissioned by NHS Richmond to test this in the London Borough of Richmond Upon Thames… (more)

"As a result of Ki-Rin's input, NHS Richmond has been able to plan work in accordance with evidence-based research and best practice, giving us access to in-depth, reliable up-to-date guidance about our local community needs and profile.
