This report comes out of a programme by the Mental Health Commission for Scotland which aimed to find better ways of communicating with service users from black and minority ethnic (BME) communities and to develop awareness of BME issues. During 2003-04 the Commission visited 5 national and 15 local organisations across Scotland with a specific focus on BME issues. This document is based on issues emerging from these visits. The aim of the report is to contribute to awareness and debate of issues affecting BME service users, leading to more culturally appropriate services for individuals. A number of key areas for service development are identified within the report, including: the need for more pro-active mainstreaming of services for BME people with mental disorder; improved access to interpreting services for patients; and more appropriate care settings, especially in relation to single sex accommodation. The report provides examples of good practice, and recommendations for actions for the Commission itself and for the range of providers, inspectorates and other agencies involved in ensuring the quality of mental health and learning disability services.
