NSPCC Learning has released a podcast discussing intersectionality in social work practice.
Intersectionality refers to how different forms of discrimination and injustice including racism, sexism and ageism interact and intersect to influence lived experiences. The podcast features Jahnine Davis and Nick Marsh from Listen Up, an organisation that engages professionals to critically reflect on approaches to safeguarding children and young people.
The podcast discusses: what intersectionality is; its importance in safeguarding and protecting children and young people; the impact of not taking an intersectional approach when working with children and young people; and how professionals can apply intersectional understanding to their work.
