Kinship care often begins in crisis….

A child whose parents are unable to care for them, for whatever reason. It’s frightening, confusing and heart-breaking.
Instinctively, a loved one steps in – a grandparent, brother, sister, aunt, uncle or family friend. They are now a kinship carer, bringing up the children they love.

There’s no chance to prepare. Plans are pushed aside. Relationships, jobs and savings are sacrificed.
