NSPCC Learning has published a CASPAR briefing summarising the Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel’s thematic review of race and racism in safeguarding in England. Findings include: the role of racism in service and practice responses to Black, Asian and Mixed Heritage children and families are missing from reviews; and reviews do not consistently explore the ways in which race, ethnicity and culture may influence practice responses to Black, Asian and Mixed Heritage children.
