Ideas to support adopted and looked after children
Recording of the live webinar with Dee Bamford and Dr Dan Hughes
This webinar took place in June 2020 following the Black Lives Matter events around the world. We have an important opportunity to think about inequality in the care system and how challenging it is for fostered, adopted or looked after children to understand their identity and heritage.
Children and young people need to work out, as they move into and through adolescence, who they want to be. Often this involves carefully wrestling with the process of understanding their identity, often straddling two different cultures, so that they have a feeling of comfort and belonging in their new home.
In this webinar Dan Hughes (Clinical Psychologist, Ph.D.) and Dee Bamford (Psychotherapist and adoptive parent) provide a forum for thinking together with parents about how to support young people with identity and feeling a sense of belonging regarding their ethnicity. Dan and Dee provide some ideas to support children as well as a forum for questions and answers.
Family Futures recognises that we all need to take seriously the inequality faced by Black, Asian and ethnic minority children and adults and the lack of recognition of this, in order to bring about lasting change.
Participants were invited to send in questions for Dan and Dee when booking their place to inform the discussion.
A webinar for professionals was also held in July 2020. Purchase a copy of the professionals webinar here.
