Help and support for Kinship Carers: Where to start?

Our advice and support to kinship carers and their children is provided through our Kinship Navigators.

We changed our services to be responsive to all kinship carers, and we recognise that kinship carers need a single point of contact to help them navigate the local offer and all the help and support available.

Contact Kinship

Our Kinship Navigators can be reached by email at kinship@rotherham.gov.uk and by telephone 01709 822684. There is the option to leave a voicemail. This telephone is managed from 8.30am to 4.30pm Monday to Friday.

For out of hours emergencies, please call 01709 382121.

The council offices are closed on bank holidays, although you can continue to access online services on this website 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Kinship Carers Facebook Group

There is an invite only Facebook group for all kinship carers which is a well-established peer support community, facilitated by the Kinship Navigators.
