The Independent Review of Children’s Social Care, published in May 2022, places a strong emphasis on kinship care, calling for “far greater recognition and support” for kinship carers as well as several other recommendations to improve outcomes for children and families in kinship care. The recently introduced Kinship Care Bill also calls for improved support for kinship carers. Despite this growing awareness of the need to improve support for kinship carers, there is still much that is unknown about how kinship care is used and the support which kinship carers receive.
