This CPD-certified, fully licensed training course has been developed in response to growing demand from professionals seeking to better support mixed-race children and young people.
The course addresses critical gaps in safeguarding, identity, and equality, providing practical tools that improve engagement, reduce harm, and strengthen outcomes for children, families, and professionals.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
1. Explain the stages of racial identity development in mixed-race children.
2. Identify common challenges mixed-race children face (identity conflict, external bias, microaggressions) and strategies to address them.
3. Foster a home environment that honours and integrates multiple heritages (language, culture, traditions).
4. Communicate effectively about race, belonging, and culture with children in age-appropriate ways.
5. Advocate for the child in educational and community settings.
6. Build the child’s resilience and self-esteem around identity.
