Effective Support for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Families
|
The [Early Intervention Foundation] (EIF), the [Race Equality Foundation] (REF) and [Action for Children] have partnered up to create [SpeakOut]. SpeakOut is a safe space for Black, Asian and minority ethnic groups to share their experiences on seeking support for their family.
Research looking at lots of different issues, from health to education to justice, suggests there are large and worrying inequalities in the outcomes experienced by minority ethnic groups. It is also known that good family support can help to address many of these issues before they become more serious concerns in a young person’s life.
It is vital that family support services can support all families, from all ethnic backgrounds, to reduce these risks to young people’s lives. But as a country, we don’t know enough about what effective family support looks like, especially for minority ethnic families.
Every family should be able to get the support they need, when they need it, no matter their background. [SpeakOut] wants to hear from young people, parents and carers from Black, Asian and minority ethnic families about how easy it is to find the help they need, if the help is right for them, and how things could be made better.
SpeakOut is asking anyone who interested in sharing their experiences about how easy it is to find the help you need, if the help is right for you, and how things could be made better, to complete a [short survey]. You can share your story anonymously through the survey as video, audio or text responses, in any language of your choice.
You can find out more on the [SpeakOut website] or by contacting speakout@eif.org.uk. There is also a SpeakOut introductory video, which is available on [YouTube].
