Objectives

AFRUCA works to promote the well-being and protection of children, young people, their families in BME communities across England. Through the provision of a range of early intervention and prevention services, we work to ensure that parents and others have the skills to keep children safe from abuse, exploitation and harm. Our goal is to help improve the protection and safeguarding of children in BME communities across England.
