What is Kinship Care?
Kinship Care is when a child is being raised in the care of a friend or family member who is not their parent. This arrangement may be temporary or longer term. For example, you may be the child’s grandparents. You may not class yourself as a Kinship Carer or a carer, but this is how it is classified.
Our Kinship Local Offer provides support, advice and guidance for Kinship Children, Carers and their families to ensure that they are able to thrive.
