Foster families who ignore race are participating in a pernicious form of racism

Derek Owusu

2018

Derek Owusu draws on personal experiences to argue that there needs to be more education about the needs of black children when being fostered

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
