Race, Adoption and Tomorrow's Social Workers
A questionnaire study examined social-work students’ attitudes towards race and adoption. Respondents were mainly second-year students specialising in children and families. Views differed widely, with overall qualified support for same-race adoption. Minority ethnic students were more likely than white students to support same-race placements.
Limitations: This describes prospective professionals’ attitudes rather than adoptees’ experiences or placement outcomes. The abstract gives no sample size or response rate. Historical training attitudes should not be assumed to describe current practice.
