Abstract
This paper outlines some of the historical issues regarding transracial placement and relates these to the British cultural context. Issues of identity, and the particular placement needs of children of mixed parentage background, where one parent is white and one is black, are considered. Case study material is used to illustrate the issues involved in assessing white substitute carers and how, on the basis of Helm’s (1992) work, the assessment of potential substitute carers may be made more objective. Finally, implications for the work of educational psychologists are suggested.
