Prospera Tedam has been a social work educator since 2004 and is currently a Professor of Social Work at University College, Dublin (UCD). Her research interests are in the areas of culturally sensitive approaches to working with children and families, anti-oppressive and anti-racist social work education and practice, school social work, and practice learning.

Awura Adjoa is the pseudonym chosen by this author in order to maintain her annonymity. Originally from West Africa and now a University graduate, Awura sees it as her duty to share her experiences of childhood which was disrupted as a result of being labelled a witch. She has a renewed commitment to making a difference in the lives of children who may be similarly affected or at risk of this form of abuse in the UK and abroad.
