In this article, Ronny Flynn explores the current position on placing white children with black or white carers. She goes on to examine how a skills-based approach can improve the options for both white minority ethnic children and white majority ethnic children. How this approach relates to the debate on 'same-race' or 'transracial' placements for black children is explicit throughout. The author concludes by discussing some of the anxieties that may be raised by this proposal to consider black carers for white children if the skills of the carers meet the needs of the children.
