After Recruitment: Putting the Preparation and Training of Asian Carers on the Agenda

Abstract

For well over a decade now local authorities and some independent agencies have been successfully recruiting Black (mainly Afro-Caribbean and Asian) families to care for Black children. Unfortunately very little attention has been paid to how to train and equip these Black families to care for the children placed. Tarzan Almas attempts to fill this gap as far as the preparation and training of Asian carers is concerned.
