Where can kinship carers, and potential kinship carers, get further information about initial assessments and get legal advice?

They may want to:

• Post a question on our Kinship Carers Forum and receive advice from one of Family Rights Group’s expert advisers
• If needing further or more detailed advice, call Family Rights Group’s specialist legal and practice advice line on 0808 801 0366 (the advice line is open Monday to Friday, from 9.30 am to 3 pm excluding bank holidays)
• Find a solicitor who is a specialist in children law. Or who has Children Law Accreditation. To find a solicitor, search using the ‘how to find a solicitor’ function on the Law Society website. See our Working with a solicitor guide on our Top tips and templates page for more information about finding and working with a solicitor.

Our Kinship Carers Forum is also a good place to discuss issues and find support from other kinship carers and potential carers .

To meet and support other kinship carers visit our Find a local kinship support group page.
