As part of Kinship Care Week, Grandparents Plus Chief Executive Lucy Peake has written a piece for Research in Practice.
She details how the COVID-19 pandemic has amplified the existing vulnerabilities of kinship carers, and warns that without support, more children could go into care.
She also writes about the importance of offering tailored, virtual support to kinship carers during these difficult times.
