National Kinship Care Workshop: Have Your Say!

Calling all kinship carers! Do you want to help shape support for kinship families? 

We are hosting an online workshop for kinship carers to put their thoughts and ideas directly to Government. 

The workshop will be held on Zoom on Tuesday 18th April, 12.45pm to 2.30pm, in partnership with the Kinship Care Team at the Department for Education.  

It will be an opportunity for relatives and friends raising children who cannot remain at home, to share what you think about: 

• The Government’s recently published plans for kinship care 
• What should be included in the national kinship care strategy that the Government is going to be creating this year

Kinship care is firmly on the political agenda and this is a chance for you to say what you think children and families need.

The workshop will start with a presentation from Government officials about what their  proposals are. We will then move into small groups to give everyone the opportunity to share their views in a safe and supported space. 

This event has now taken place.
