As part of a series on child care policy, this book describes the
situation of black families in Britain who face many problems
stemming from both racial discrimination and from the aftermath of
migration: the latter, while it opened up new opportunities, also
imposed strains felt beyond the generation of people who were
newcomers to Britain. The welfare services have not always dealt
with the problems of poverty, poor housing and unemployment in
appropriate ways. Disproportionate numbers of black children are in
care, with less chance of reunion with their parents than white
children. Care provided by local authorities may also be
insensitive to diverse ethnic backgrounds and cultural needs. Only
recently have black substitute parents been found for black
children. Welfare services for young offenders have also not been
operated adequately for black adolescents, so disproportionate
numbers are in youth custody establishements. In the early 1980s,
social services began to recognize these problems and this book
describes developments and explores possible ways of providing
services which are appropriate to Britain's multi-racial
population. The contributors seeks to describe practical ways of
meeting needs, and their implications for black families and the
practitioners and administrators who work with them. Juliet
Cheetham is the author of "Social Work and Ethnicity".
