Part three of our Lunch & Learn series in collaboration with Adoption England. The Nuffield-funded Expressions of Self research project aimed to listen to minoritised looked-after children and young people’s narratives on ethnicity, religion and identity, to inform policy and practice about their needs. In this session, we will use young people’s stories of identity and negotiating their identity to showcase learnings for frontline social workers. We will explore the different kinds of impact that their identities can have on young people’s journeys through care. Our presenters are Dr Sariya Cheruvallil-Contractor, Kusha Anand (PhD) and Assistant Professor Alison Halford of Coventry University.
