About this handbook
A child's sense of who they are comes from their past, their present and their hopes for the future. This handbook looks at heritage, names, and how prejudice and discrimination can affect children in care. It then sets out practical ways foster carers can build a positive identity and help a child do well in health, education, friendships and everyday skills.

- Heritage, culture and why names matter
- Prejudice, discrimination and inequality
