Decolonisation is a growing concern in the UK as social movements seek to highlight colonial legacies in institutional settings. Despite this, it remains unclear how child protection systems could be decolonised, where there has been no research thus far on the relationship between colonial legacies and systemic harm. Although lengths have been taken to address racial disparities within the system, interventions to counter such harm continue to be incorporated piecemeal. Given that young people racialised as non-white continue to feature disproportionately in the child protection system, this proposal recognises that incremental reform is no longer sufficient, and seeks to provide resources for transforming child protection policies and practices. This proposal turns to Aotearoa New Zealand, where the transformation of child protection systems is being shaped by Maori authority and vision. In partnership with the largest kaupapa organisation in Aotearoa's South Island, Te Kaika, I will story this process, understanding the potential and challenges of disrupting colonial legacies in child protection services through their tikanga. I will use a mixed method approach driven by a decolonising methodology: engaging participant observation, policy analysis, and reflective workshops. In turn, the outcomes of this study will be reciprocal: evidencing the voices and solutions of those who have been marginalised to dismantle colonial modes of knowledge in child protection; and offering tangible implications for policy transfer and practice in the UK at a time where decolonisation remains relatively immaterial.

随着社会运动寻求在制度环境中强调殖民遗产，非殖民化在英国日益受到关注。尽管如此，目前尚不清楚儿童保护系统如何去殖民化，迄今为止还没有关于殖民遗产与系统性伤害之间关系的研究。尽管已经采取了很多措施来解决系统内的种族差异，但对抗这种伤害的干预措施仍然是零散的。鉴于被视为非白人的年轻人在儿童保护体系中仍然占据不成比例的比例，该提案认识到渐进式改革已不再足够，并寻求提供资源来转变儿童保护政策和做法。该提案转向新西兰，毛利人的权威和愿景正在推动新西兰儿童保护系统的转型。我将与新西兰南岛最大的 kaupapa 组织 Te Kaika 合作，讲述这一过程，了解通过 tikanga 破坏儿童保护服务中殖民遗产的潜力和挑战。我将使用由非殖民化方法驱动的混合方法：参与参与者观察、政策分析和反思研讨会。反过来，这项研究的结果将是互惠的：证明那些被边缘化的人的声音和解决方案，以消除儿童保护方面的殖民知识模式；在非殖民化仍然相对不重要的时期，为英国的政策转移和实践提供切实的影响。
