Title:

Research with black and minority ethnic people using social care services

Publisher:

London: School for Social Care Research, 2012. 31p.

Abstract:

This review addresses research methods with black and minority ethnic people using (in its broadest terms) adult social care and support in England. The last ten years have seen considerable changes in how ethnicity is understood. Among these are developments in research sensitive to ethnicity and the further development of anti-racist policy, practice and outcomes in social care. The review took an integrative approach, with a search conducted primarily through online databases including Web of Knowledge and Social Care Online. It summarises the developments and offers practical advice on applying their lessons. Material from other discipline, including health, is also drawn on for methodological advances relevant to social care research. The authors summarise underlying methods of previous research describing their contributions and their limitations; they reflect on their use in social care practice studies; and make recommendations for whether and how these approaches might be more widely or rigorously employed. The recommendations are aimed at students and researchers who are new to social care as well as seasoned researchers and social care practitioners.
