If you’re a Kinship Carer of a child that’s come into your care, either informally or through a formal agreement, there is a range of help and advice available.
It’s important to remember that you are not alone. Our team at the Council is here to advise and guide you, and there is independent support available too.
Whether you need advice or support with looking after your kinship child, want to get involved in a support group, or need support with your housing or finances, the following webpages have all the information you need.
Start here for help and support as a kinship carer. Learn about upcoming service changes and how Family Help Navigators will guide you through the local offer.
