In 2016 Denise completed a level 5 diploma in ‘Leadership for Health and Social Care’, for which she had to undertake a research project. Denise’s research explored attitudes to ethnicity, faith and culture within social care practices. The research was subsequently used to align in-house services with the needs of its diverse service users. The research also supported the implementation of inclusion priorities within recruitment practices ensuring underrepresented groups were targeted in the recruiting process.
