Kinship

Welcome to the kinship area of our website.

This section has been created in partnership with kinship carers and young people. Here, you’ll find the key information, guidance and support you need whether you’re:

  • Considering becoming a kinship carer
  • Already caring for a child within your family or network
  • A professional supporting a kinship family

You can also explore our local offer, understand how to access our services, and hear from carers who have shared their experiences and advice.

Kinship carers are important members of our community who are dedicated to providing a safe home for many children and young people who may otherwise be in care under their local authority.
