Our new podcast series is returns and in this second episode we’re going to be hearing from kinship carer Elaine. Elaine first contacted the Family Rights Group on our freephone advice line, because she had recently started caring for her grandson. She is in conversation with Beverley – a qualified solicitor and experienced Family Rights Group advocate and adviser – who advised Elaine when she rang the advice line.
