Institutional racism is why you don’t hear voices of marginalised communities in the policy making space. Ministers like @YvetteCooperMP@bphillipsonMP@jessphillips
should always question officials why no diverse voices at meetings. It’s due to racism.

Worried about the state of the care system for children and young people? Ofsted’s inspection reports for children’s homes from the past few days make bleak reading. Buckle up for a long🧵
We @afruca are deeply concerned about proposals by @Derbyshirecc to implement a contributions to care policy under Section 20 of the Children Act 1989. We are concerned about how this policy will disproportionately impact on parents with no recourse

We note that the Council has not published any Race Equality Impact Assessment on its website to determine how this new policy would affect parents in Black and Ethnic communities who have their children removed and placed into the care system.
