Abstract
People with learning disabilities (LD) from Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) communities report dissatisfaction with some of the services provided to them. This study aimed to explore the views and experiences of service providers in providing social care services to adults with LD from BME communities. Nine interviews were conducted and data analysis was carried out using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. The themes from these interviews centred on different complexities regarding service provision, the importance of being open minded as a service provider, looking out for the service user's best interests and the constraints of short term funding. The findings from this study indicated that service provision to BME communities was a challenging and complex process. Nevertheless, service providers still strove to be culturally competent. These findings may be utilised to inform guidelines for supporting social care service providers working with BME communities.
