There is very little research about the profile and needs of this group of carers in the UK. However, they provide vital support to thousands of children, but are often overlooked and cannot access the same financial support as foster carers. This is a research grant with an academic partner and the findings will be widely shared with practitioners, policy makers, local authorities and the voluntary sector. It is a very timely piece of research and will reflect some of the key aspirations of the Independent Review of Children's Social Care published in May 2022

Grandparents Plus is the kinship care charity in England and Wales and leading provider of kinship family support. Kinship carers are relatives and friends who step in to raise someone else?s child.
Rising numbers of children are entering kinship care, especially children aged 0-4 years. This is fueled, in part, by local authorities placing vulnerable children who have frequently experienced parental abuse and neglect in the care of relatives rather than foster care. Three times more children are in kinship care than in the care system, but they are relatively invisible and poorly supported.
Research shows the benefits of kinship care over local authority care: continuity, commitment, stability and remaining with siblings contribute to better outcomes for children.
Our project is important because kinship carers are under strain: without more support, 32% say they may not be able to continue. There is a risk that placements will breakdown and more children will enter care.
Our project, Kinship Campaigners, will build a powerful movement of kinship carers across England and Wales. They will raise awareness, influence policy change and campaign for rights, enshrined in legislation - a Kinship Care Act.
Key activities include:
- Co-developing and implementing a campaign strategy and plans using a social action approach.
- Building a powerful campaigning community, bringing together networks of kinship carers and peer support groups to catalyse change locally and nationally.
- Campaign bootcamps and resources, co-developed with kinship carers.
- ?Campaign Champions? ? kinship carers in new paid roles who will contribute lived experience, empower peers to engage in campaigns, celebrate successes and sustain momentum.
- Lobbying Westminster and the Welsh Assembly.
The project will be supported by a powerful communications strategy, with storytelling at its heart, raising the profile of kinship care and making it an issue that cannot be ignored.
