The Government in 2011 issued family and friends care (also known as kinship care) guidance that requires that all English local authorities have a family and friends care policy. It also requires that each authority identifies a senior manager with responsibility for overseeing this area of child welfare.
If you are aware that a local policy has been updated or contact details changed, please email ychoudhury@frg.org.uk to help keep this page up to date.
