Tell us your experiences of becoming a kinship carer while in work
While other working parents and carers are entitled to some form of paid leave, kinship carers are expected back to work the next day – leaving many facing significant financial hardship.
We have a chance to change this and we need to hear kinship carers’ experiences to get the government to take notice.
Tell your MP how cuts to therapy funding will affect children in kinship care
Kinship carers are pushing back on the changes to the adoption and special guardianship support fund (ASGSF) and making the case for support for all children in kinship care by emailing their MP.
#ValueOurLove campaign
Every child needs love and 141,000 children across England and Wales being raised by relatives or family friends know the value of love. Children growing up in kinship care have often had a really difficult start in life having experienced significant trauma and loss that lasts a lifetime. Yet unlike children in foster care, most of them and those caring for them receive no support, pushing kinship families to breaking point.
The #ValueOurLove campaign is bringing kinship carers, campaigners and passionate supporters together to transform the broken system, so that all kinship families get the proper support they need and deserve. We’re making progress but there’s still some way to go.
