Support for Kinship children and young people

Supporting you in kinship care

Children and young people tell us that they are grateful to their kinship carers but that it can be difficult and confusing sometimes too.

There are many types of support available, and help for kinship carers to identify for their kinship children.

There is also support for carers around childcare, activities and education.
