Children from black and minority ethnic communities are being inappropriately used as interpreters by support services staff that work with children and families, according to a new report published by the National Family and Parenting Institute (NFPI). The report, Supporting Minority Ethnic Families - South Asian Hindus and Muslims in Britain: Developments in Family Support, identifies a lack of structural support and planning for needs-based services targeted at black and ethnic minority families. The NFPI anticipates that many of the issues raised in the report, based on interviews with professionals working with families, will be of interest to those working with people from any minority ethnic group. It is available from NFPI publications on 020 7424 3460, priced 15.
