* Fulfilment of individual potential.
In terms of addressing discriminatory practice one of the functions of a key worker should be to “work with and encourage families to address threatening, offensive and prejudiced behavior including domestic abuse, bullying, overtly racist, sexist or homophobic behavior”.

It is important not to expect to find easy or right answers to everything.
