Specialist Training Programme For Professionals
AFRUCA is committed to facilitating and developing the learning and skills of practitioners who work with Black and Ethnic children and families and those who provide services to meet their needs. Over the past twenty two years, we have gained a wealth of knowledge and experience delivering specialist training courses aimed at enhancing the knowledge, skills and confidence of practitioners working with children and their families from diverse backgrounds. We work with agencies to design relevant training courses which are delivered inhouse - face to face or remotely.

Cross Cultural and Integration Training Course for New International Social Workers from Zimbabwe and South Africa
We were specially commissioned by Manchester City Council to deliver a two day cross cultural and integration training course for its new international social workers from Zimbabwe and South Africa. The two day training held on 27 and 28 June 2023 was delivered by our social work team and was aimed at providing support to the social workers to enable them adapt to working in the UK. This is due to the various challenges that can arise for newly arrived workers while trying to integrate into the wider UK society.
Our staff/trainers (Deborah, Jamila and Lauretta) used their own personal and professional experiences as Black African/Caribbean social workers in the UK to inform the training. Participants were provided with AFRUCA's bespoke training manuals which cover various cultural safeguarding issues.
We received very positive feedback from participants about how useful they found the session and from Manchester City Council about the high quality of the training content and delivery.
