Our online advice forums are an anonymous space where parents and kinship carers (also known as family and friends carers) can get legal and practical advice, build a support network and learn from other people’s experiences.
Our get help and advice section has template letters, advice sheets and resources about legal and social care processes. On Monday and Wednesday afternoons, you can use our webchat service to chat online to an adviser.
The APPG seeks: to improve awareness, understanding and support for kinship care; to promote policy and practice which supports more children to live safely in kinship care with family and friends, when they cannot live at home; and to amplify the voices and experiences of children and families.
