ALT A Foundations-branded quote card, with a honey background and large darker orange quotation marks. It features an image of the Minister for Children and Families Josh MacAlister MP. Josh is a light-skinned man with a wide smile, short medium-brown hair, brown eyes, and a short stubbly beard. He is wearing a white collared button-up shirt without a tie, and a blue suit jacket. Josh's quote reads: "Today marks a turning point for children affected by domestic abuse. For too long, we haven't had the evidence we need about what actually works to help these children recover and thrive. Domestic abuse can have a terrible impact on children, which is why what Foundations is announcing today matters so much. This is an important part of our ongoing evaluation of support services for child victims of domestic abuse, with early indications that these programmes are making a real difference"
ALT A Foundations branded quote card from Director of Evidence, Dr Aoife O'Higgins: "There’s an urgent need to address the evidence gap about the experiences of minoritised ethnic children and young people in kinship care. We know the carers of these children face barriers when they try to access support, and that they can have negative experiences of the system. Despite this, there simply isn’t enough research on the perspectives of minoritised ethnic children. Our call aims to fill this gap, to help inform more equitable, culturally responsive services.”
