This unit is from our archive and it is an adapted extract from Care, welfare and community (K202) which is no longer in presentation. If you wish to study formally at The Open University, you may wish to explore the courses we offer in this curriculum area.
This unit will help you understand how it is possible to meet the needs of a particular minority community ? the Chinese who live in Northern Ireland. The audio clips will give you an opportunity to listen to some first hand experiences and discover some of the problems that this community are facing. You will also hear about the needs of the community in terms of care and support, particularly in terms of meeting the needs of older Chinese inhabitants.
The audio file was recorded in 2000.

Helen Robinson is the presenter;
Anna Watson is the director of the Chinese Welfare Association, Northern Ireland;
Lily Braid is a member of the Chinese Welfare Association, Northern Ireland;
Al is a member of a Chinese family in Northern Ireland. Al requested that a pseudonym be used for him to protect his family's privacy.
