A summary of research into the experiences of kinship carers from Black and Asian communities with findings conducted by the Rees Centre has been published.
The research, led by Dr Priya Tah and Professor Julie Selwyn aims to deepen understanding about the experiences of kinship families from Black and Asian communities. As the focus on kinship care grows, findings will be used to ensure that services, policy and practice are more attuned to the needs of Black and Asian kinship carers.
Priya said: “I’m really pleased to share some of the findings of this research which begin to address the gaps in knowledge about the experience of Black and Asian kinship carers. It is vital that we understand more about these experiences in order to address the needs of these families.”
A full report will follow by the end of the year.
The new research is published by Kinship and supported by the KPMG Foundation.
