"I've been attending the Kinship Professionals' Network for at least 2 years and over this time I have found the meetings to be an extremely useful forum for representatives from Family and Friends Teams to come together to share information and experiences. Kinship have arranged for speakers to attend as well as opportunities for different local authorities to provide presentations on projects that are working well in their area or the way in which their local authority structures the Family and Friends assessments which has also been extremely beneficial and a useful resource."

"I work as a supervising social worker with family and friends foster carers in Wandsworth. I've been attending the Kinship Professionals' Network for 6 years, and it has been an invaluable means of sharing information and best practice with colleagues in other local authorities. It has also provided an opportunity to hear the views and experience of a range of stakeholders from kinship carers to politicians."
