Devon Daley

Available for over a year

From styling afro hair to providing positive images of people of African and Caribbean descent, a new book seeks to offer advice on the cultural, health and welfare needs of black children in care. Denise Lewis is the author of 'Black Children in Care: Health, Hair and Skin'. In this extract, the social worker tells the BBC's Devon Daley that white carers need help when adopting and fostering black children.
