Adultification Bias – Free webinar
In collaboration with Care Knowledge, our workforce development partners, we would like to invite you to a fully funded webinar (free to our partners).
Webinar Title: Adultification Bias
Presenters: Sosa Henkoma, Sussana Clapcott and Dr Nicholas Marsh
Date: Tue 1st Apr 25
Time: 1pm to 3pm
Venue: on-line
What is Adultification Bias? This is what happens when adults perceive a child as being older than they are, and it influences their judgements about them and the way they interact with them.
- it can be present in any relationship between an adult and a child
- it is known to disproportionately impact Black children
The Child Q Safeguarding Practice Review undertaken by City and Hackney Safeguarding Children Partnership in 2022 Child-Q-PUBLISHED-14-March-22.pdf was one of the first reviews in England to refer to adultification. It illustrated, with distressing clarity, the role adultification bias played in the decisions and actions adults took in relation to Child Q.
Learning Outcomes
Understand and explore:
- what adultification bias is
- what adultification bias sounds like, looks like and feels like to a child
- why it causes harm
- the many ways adultification bias can negatively impact on outcomes
- how we can start to unravel the range of assumptions it causes us to make in our interactions with children
