Kinship Care: State of the Nation 2018

The Kinship Care: State of the Nation 2018 survey is the largest survey ever of kinship carers in the UK. As in previous years, it shows that many carers aren’t getting the support they need to enable children to thrive, including 32% of carers who said they were worried about their mental and physical health and their ability to carry out their kinship care role. The report makes recommendatinos for fundamental, legislative change and investment to ensure that the right support is available to both children growing up in kinship care and their carers.
