Work Package 2: Children, Young People and Families

UK health data shows the pandemic has exacerbated existing inequalities.

Our study translates these statistics into stories about what COVID-19 has meant for families who identify as Black or Asian or mixed Black or Asian heritage. We are focusing on the experiences of parents/carers, young people aged 12 to 18, and professionals working in childrenĀ and family services, in multi-cultural regions across the UK.

Discussions will explore changes in the social, cultural and economic aspects of family life.

Contact Teresa.Peres@rhul.ac.uk or Anita.Sharma@rhul.ac.uk and we will be in touch with more information about how you can participate in the project.
