The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) runs two courses specifically dealing with race issues:
* Working with the strengths of black families. This course aims to begin to acknowledge the need to work with the strengths of black families and develop appropriate skills. Participants learn to recognise the predominantly Eurocentric values of family life in Britain, demonstrate knowledge of the effects and processes of institutional oppression on black clients, and practice and demonstrate techniques for empowering black clients.
* Prejudicial blocks to good practice. This course examines how personal prejudices develop, hampering objective attempts to ensure the best interests of the child are met. It demonstrates through an action plan how to provide an equal and relevant service to children irrespective of race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, culture or religion.
