Priya Tah from the Rees Centre discusses a study that focuses on the experiences of Black and Asian kinship carers. Priya explains the challenges that racially minoritised kinship carers face and the implications of the study for policy and practice. More than one in five of the 120,000 kinship children in England live with minority ethnic kinship carers. However, little is known about their experiences. In this episode, Priya Tah speaks with Laura Molway about a study commissioned by Kinship and funded by the KPMG Foundation to better understand the experiences, needs, and challenges of Black and Asian kinship carers in England. Evidence suggests that while Black and Asian kinship carers face similar barriers to other kinship families such as a lack of financial support, they also deal with specific challenges, including cultural stigma, systemic racism and limited access to support and tailored services. Priya identifies several areas where improvements in kinship care support could be made, including in awareness, statutory rights, housing, support for special educational needs and disabilities, and the cultural competence of services.

Adult-child interactions while using touchscreen apps
Dr Sandra Mathers discusses her research exploring how adults and children interact while using touchscreen apps. Millions of children around the world use mobile touchscreen devices – tablets or smartphones – every day. Although young children can learn from solo media use, research shows that they learn more when an adult joins them. In this episode, Dr Sandra Mathers discusses a survey of more than 1,000 caregivers of children aged between 3 and 7 that sought to understand the nature and extent their interactions with their children when using these kinds of app. She describes fostering a ‘balanced digital diet’ of touchscreen use and considers the value added when adults and children collaborate on digital media use.
