Up until the age of eight i grew up in a very multicultural area and went to a very multicultural school right in the heart of East London. I was very happy there in this school. My parents moved to a more upmarket place when i was 8 and although i got on ok i did prefer where i was i just felt more at ease there. I am casting my head back to my childhood days now and remembering how i felt.

I assume that this child’s grandmother is the child’s blood relative. You did not mention any family that the child could live with in London. I don't think that hardly anyone would say that the child should go and live in London if that is the case.

Dual heritage to some people can be a bit confusing a lot of black people who are growing up or grew up in the UK may see themselves as dual heritage.
