Black and Mixed Heritage Children in Care: Health, Hair & Skin Care
Black Children in Care: Health, Hair and Skin An invaluable resource for foster carers, adoptive parents, guardians and anyone caring for black and mixed heritage children. The guide provides practical and essential information about hair and skin care, health and nutrition so that parents and carers can help their children look good and feel good about themselves. In doing so, they will also form bonds with their children and help them to develop self-esteem and a positive sense of identity. “Hair is critical to a strong sense of racial identity for black children. Every child matters and to safeguard children, hair and skin care should be seen as an integral and important part of a child’s life”
The Children Act 1989 and the Children Act/2004 both highlights safeguarding and the welfare of children as paramount importance; health, hair and skin care, and self-esteem are no different in respect to this, and neglect of anyone of these can be regarded as a safeguarding issue. positiveimageproject
