Intersectionality

Moving beyond a universal lens

Our work is underpinned by intersectional thinking. This means we acknowledge, explore and remain curious about all aspects of a person’s identity and how these influence their individual and systemic experiences.

We believe by applying intersectionality we are able to better meet the needs of marginalised and minoritised children and young people.

Intersectionality provides an opportunity to challenge universal thinking when working with children, young people and families in practice, policy and research.
