Listen to Andrea explain more about the research project:
Title: From Student to Practitioner: Race, Racism and Social Work. Phase 2
Initial findings from the first CMSWTP funded research project: From Student to Practitioner: Race, Racism and Social Work, indicated that Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic students and practitioners had a positive experience of coming together in a safe space to discuss issues important to them regarding their lived experience and perspectives of race and racism within social work.
This NIHR funded continuation project aims:
- To provide professional development opportunities for BAME students and practitioners
Project objectives are:
- To provide 3 networking facilitated discussion forums where safe conversations can take place
- To discuss and develop thinking around Anti-Racist practice
- To evaluate the experiences of participation in the 3 events
- To write up and disseminate outcomes from Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the research
