Knowledge about and awareness of racial groups and their cultures are low within the childcare professions, placing any child from a minority ethnic group in a disadvantaged position. This can cause further traumas in the abused child and block the path towards healing. This book is a study of the effects of racism on the protection and support of black children who have been sexually abused. It combines first-hand accounts with reports of research and references to literature in the field. The author explores the myths and realities surrounding abuse of black children and looks at the actions of social workers and other professionals. Her purpose is to demonstrate how deeply racism affects the provision of support and care for the abused black child, why such children fail to disclose abuse and to consider what can be done by society to redress the balance. Those preparing for the Diploma in Social Work, BEd, or NVQ in Care (Level 3), nursery nurses, health visitors and Project 2000 nurses will find Racism and Child Protection an invaluable resource.
