Our social work practice must be guided by the values and principles of anti-racist practice and cultural humility. This means embedding them into all aspects of our work with families, bringing self-awareness of our own biases, assumptions and privileges, and centring families’ lived experience. 

This course is an opportunity to understand key concepts and consider why anti-racist practice and cultural humility matter. You will be supported to explore how you can build relationships with families that honour diverse perspectives and recognise unique needs, and explore tools to enable you to better understand the identities of children and their families. You will then consider how this understanding can be applied to your practice to develop culturally appropriate assessments and interventions that reflect the lived realities of children and families and take account of their intersecting identities.

Hear from Polly Baynes, a children and families social worker with over 36 years of experience. Polly's research explores the experiences of 10 mothers and fathers of keeping in touch with children who were no longer in their care, using photographs and interviews. Contact provided an important but limited opportunity to express a continued sense of parental responsibility. Parents used familiar food, toys and children’s belongings to maintain connections to their past shared life with the child and as expressions of loving care across the boundaries of placement and into the future. The research shows there is potential for family time settings to provide increased support in the aftermath of separation to the benefit of both parent and child, improving the prospects of safe reunification and positive long term connections.
