HOW DOES GODLY FAMILY MATTER IN THE CARE OF AFRICAN CHILDREN? EXPERIENCES OF CHILD PROTECTION PRACTITIONERS IN ENGLAND Frederick Longino PhD student (Social Policy and Social Work)

Introduction Mind the gap! Work in progress

Background Religious diversity in cosmopolitan cities Historical cases e.g.Victoria Climbié, child B Media headlines on Pentecostal beliefs Political agenda e.g. Stobart report in 2006 No research studies on social work and African Pentecostal beliefs and practices

My research Focused on : Pentecostal beliefs and Child welfare in England and Tanzania (2009/11) Based on: In-depth interviews and participant observation Participants: African Pentecostal parents, pastors, church children’s workers, social workers and Police officers

Pentecostal community and beliefs Pentecostal faith a source of faith family, community support and cohesion amongst members e.g. child care, prayers etc Holy spirits influence the lives of children and parents (Belcher and Vining, 2000) God protects our children and family because ‘whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe’ (Proverbs 29:25)

Child welfare professionals and Pentecostal beliefs ‘Maria (17) a mother of under one year’s old child, attended a Pentecostal church. On Thursdays she attended church from 6-9pm. On Sundays from 10am-1pm and went back from 6-9pm. She was living in a 24 hours supported living. …the problem was that the home had curfew, all residents have to be back by 6pm. …the only constant people in her life were the church and the members. So she was having a problem of not being able to go to church on Thursday and Sunday evenings’ (Participant, social worker) We want to build safe and acceptable care for children within the boundaries of the law recognising that families often have their own values, beliefs and structures (Kellet and Apps, 2009).

Child welfare policies and challenges Healing and deliverance rituals have prominent roles in health care of Pentecostals (i.e. children and adults) Involving children and young people in making decision about their own health (Department of health, 2003) Should churches providing healing and deliverance ministries be considered as stakeholders in the provision of health services too because of ‘divine’ health service provision for children and adults?

Conclusion Whether one can agree or disagree with the standpoints of my participants, let us debate and discuss. Thank you For further comments please me:
