Assessing your organization’s LGBTQ cultural competence requires an understanding of the general level of skills, knowledge and comfort of your staff in working with the LGBTQ community. For smaller agencies this may be easier to gauge, but for larger agencies, particularly those with multiple sites and divisions, it may be more difficult.
All Children - All Families provides a Baseline Staff Assessment for agency leaders to administer to their staff to get a more accurate measure of their readiness to work with the LGBTQ community. This staff assessment helps identify any issues of particular concern and better plan for staff development/training to enhance their performance and cultural competence. It includes questions on your staff's LGBTQ-related practice experience, knowledge, attitudes, and skills. The survey requires 20 to 25 minutes to complete.
If you’d like to administer this assessment at your agency, contact All Children - All Families at acaf@hrc.org. Here are more details on the assessment process:
