This book looks at how psychology can be used to promote racial harmony for children and reduce racial disadvantage. Educationists, psychologists and practitioners examine social care and health services and education to identify how to develop practitioners’ understanding of ways to support children’s healthy psychological growth and thus benefit society as a whole.

The book is essential to professional development but it will take practitioners and policy makers out of their comfort zone. It is a pioneering enterprise, bringing together academic and action research to present relevant advice for practitioners in schools, social care and health services uniting under the Every Child Matters and No Child Left Behind agendas. It considers

- the issues in training and continuing professional development
- research and practice for targeted ethnic groups
- theoretical perspectives on research and practice
- curriculum development
- user involvement.

The contributors are Olatayo and Taiwo Afuape, Jan Carter, Christine Cork, Luke Daniels, Isis and Jeune Guishard-Pine, Lloyd Hamilton, Alex Harborne, Sarah Hawes, Valerie Jackson, Yvonne Mills, Karina Ng, Clare Nichols, Randa Price, Hazel Sawyers, Sarah Took and Naomi Anna Watson.
