Kinship
Support for kinship carers
How it can help
Kinship care is when a child lives full-time or most of the time with a relative or close family friend, usually because their parents are not able to care for them.
Grandparents are the most common kinship carers, but older siblings, aunts, uncles, and people who know the child well can also take on the role.
Kinship offers advice and information to Kinship carers.
