Racism, ignorance, and social exclusion continue to persist as some of the most entrenched systemic challenges First Nations peoples face in accessing and realising true Justice, when compared to other people in Australia. Cultural safety continues to be regarded as emerging discourse for most legal actors across the Continent. Even though most judicial officers are aware of cultural differences, the significance of Cultural Intelligence (CQ) and Culturally Principled Practice (CPP) and the application of First Nations specific Cultural Safety Principles (CSF) are less well recognised and rarely operationalised or advocated. This workshop will review the socio-political (and social) differences which exist between mainstream Justice systems and First Nations contemporary realities; while seeking to apply a Culturally Principled approach in achieving accurate advocacy, raise Judicial awareness and achieve true and equitable justice for First Nations peoples (in whatever capacity they find themselves as consumers of Justice Services).

Attendees to this workshop will learn how to:

• Reflect on one’s own culture, attitudes and perspectives about ‘others’
• Identify and implement strategies for owning and mitigating biases and provide for greater equality and equity across advocated, adjudicated and mediated Justice (and its associated mechanisms)
• Identify the practical human differences and apply them to (and with) the legal frameworks that exist (at least theoretically) to protect the human and legal rights of First Nations peoples
• Explore Culturally Principled Practice as a professional and human mechanism to assist with preventing and repairing harm, while actively and ethically responding to the practical injustices which persist
• Explore the impact of the Culturally Principled Practice tertiary learning, professional development and Executive/Judicial level training /coaching – as a transformative practical individualised approach to reducing racism, social exclusion and systemic alienation within the justice system
