This information sheet gives an overview of the impact of immigration from African and the Caribbean, and the adverse effects of broken relationships and sometimes traumatic reunions on children.
It was a collaborative effort between myself and Dr Elaine Arnold of the charity, Supporting Relationships and Families.
It's not intended to be an academic piece, rather something that touches on the experiences of so many black and families I know, including my own. Coming into a hostile environment is spoken of particularly in light of recent events however what I observed a few years ago was that nearly not enough attention was the relational impact of the many family separations that occurred as a result of immigration to the UK. The intention of the info sheet is to provide some insight and understanding to those impacted, directly and indirectly by these experiences.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
