Cultural Intelligence in Public Health
Above Difference has played a leading role in introducing Cultural Intelligence to the NHS to support the Diversity and Inclusion Agenda across Trusts and national bodies. In 2017 -2018 Above Difference worked alongside Inspiring Hope to develop and deliver the first NHS WRES Experts Programme integrating Cultural Intelligence CQ into the modular programme.
Above Difference has since delivered CQ Workshops to participants from NHS England and NHSImprovement as well as a number of Trusts including NELFHT.
We are committed to working with across the Health and Social Care landscape to build culturally intelligent organisations and teams where the diversity of the workforce is positively leveraged to produce better outcomes for patients, staff and communities particularly those from marginalised communities.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][us_separator][vc_column_text]

Cultural Intelligence in Policing
Above Difference has pioneered the introduction of Cultural Intelligence in Policing into one of the UK’s largest police forces- Avon and Somerset. Our pilot programme in Bristol is leading to real time changes in the way that communities are policed. Officers with enhanced CQ are more confiendet ind bling with diverse communities using their understanding of cultural values and CQ to shape their responses to communities in a range of contexts.
Consideration is now being given to how the Constabulary can become the first Culturally Intelligent Police Force in the country. In addition to the training programme we are working with teams to embed the learning providing safe peer discussion groups for participants to develop their CQ and apply they learning to realtime challenges in working across diverse communities.
Jennifer provides a fresh and academic yet practical perspective brimming with constructive and thought provoking challenges that is helping make a huge change in our performance.

Cultural Intelligence in Education
Above Difference has worked with Davenant Foundation school in Loughton Essex to support academic staff and pupils to deal effectively with multi-multiculturalism in the school and develop a better understanding of ‘culture’ and how it affects pupil teacher interactions.
We are exploring introducing CQ across a number of Higher Education establishments with a particular view to helping them address the issues of achievement, progression and retention across BAME students.

“It is fair to say that Davenant would not be as culturally sensitive as we are today if it were not for Jennifer. The students and staff now have a confidence is recognising and celebrating cultural difference as well as raising concerns.

Cultural Intelligence in Public Sector Leadership
At Above Difference we recognise that in order to create radical and sustainable positive change in the Inclusion agenda we need to equip leaders and managers with the skills and tools to manage cross culturally. Over the last few years the public sector has grown increasingly diverse yet the statistics around bullying and harassment, discrimination, poor retention and progression of BAME staff continue to be dismal across the sector.
Our aim is to challenge the traditional approach of addressing this by providing challenging, interactive CQ training sessions that help leaders to understand how they can use their enhanced CQ to create truly inclusive and compassionate workplace cultures where all staff are valued.
