This Facilitator Manual was developed by Cancer Institute NSW as a tool to assist in providing information on bowel cancer and bowel cancer screening to women and men from different cultural backgrounds, particularly those eligible to participate in the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program (NBCSP), aged 50-74 years. 

This Facilitator Manual should be used to support the delivery of community education using the flipchart ‘Bowel health and screening’.

It has been designed to:

• Improve knowledge about bowel cancer, bowel cancer screening and the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program (NBCSP).
• Improve accessibility of information and health literacy about bowel cancer and bowel cancer screening to people from a number of different cultural backgrounds.
• Address some common barriers to bowel cancer screening and encourage participation in the NBCSP.
