Exploring Diversity in Supervision

Learning from Serious Case Reviews highlights that there is insufficient focus or attention paid to the impact of heritage, culture or religious faith (and its meaning for that specific child or family) as well as disability or poverty when working with children and families. This suggests that families’ lived experiences of social and structural inequality, culture, ethnicity and diversity may not be sufficiently understood or acknowledged by social workers. This reflective audit tool considers how you can explore these issues in supervision and support social workers to talk about diversity with children and families.
