Minority Ethnic Families


Evidence shows that some minority ethnic groups suffer disproportionately high levels of disadvantage.  Children’s Centres can increase participation by previously disengaged families by actively encouraging them to become engaged in the design and delivery of their services.  Children’s Centres also have a key role in promoting social cohesion and fostering positive relationships within their community.
