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.

The Confident Questioner’s Guide - Assessing Claims in Education
David Schley from the charity Sense About Science discusses a series of guides to help teachers become confident questioners in the face of claims about new educational initiatives. Schools, teachers and parents are regularly introduced to new measures designed to improve education. However, education is a zero-sum game. The introduction of a new initiative inevitably comes at the expense of something else, be that time, effort, another part of the curriculum, or money. It is important to understand whether adopting a new educational initiative is worth it. In this episode, David Schley of the charity Sense About Science talks with Hamish Chalmers about an initiative to provide educators with key questions to ask when faced with decision about whether to adopt a new educational initiative. The episode is accompanied by a Questioning Guide for teachers, which can be downloaded from the Oxford Education Deanery website.
