Please note we can only advise kinship carers in England and Wales.

We can advise you if you care for a relative or friend’s child full time. We can also help if you are thinking about becoming a kinship carer. Our advisers are impartial, non-judgemental and the service is confidential.

We do not give advice on regaining contact with a grandchild. For this please see the information on our website page: Lost touch with grandchild
