Description

This book shows how psychology can be used by practitioners to promote racial harmony for children and reduce racial disadvantage. Educationists, psychologists and educational practitioners who are all involved with children from ethnic minority groups identify ways to develop practitioners’ understanding of how services can be made to support all children’s healthy psychological growth and thus benefit society as a whole.

The book is essential to professional development, bringing together academic and action research to provide relevant advice for practitioners in schools, social care and health services uniting under the No Child Left Behind and Every Child Matters agendas. The range of disciplines offered by the authors will stimulate ongoing debates on race and disadvantage within social policy, training and service delivery. They consider:

* issues in initial training and continuing professional development
* research and practice for targeted ethnic groups
* theoretical perspectives on research and practice
* curriculum and service development: the racist and homophobic curriculum and user involvement.
