Kinship Care Week: 7 to 13 October 2024

#KinshipCareWeek is an opportunity to celebrate the incredible role that #KinshipCarers play in children’s lives and society.

We know how hard life can be for kinship carers. When kinship carers step in to raise a child of a relative or close friend so much is thrown at them. But we’ve seen the amazing things they’re capable of.

This year, the theme of Kinship Care Week is #ThisIsKinshipCare. It’s an important time to help everyone understand what kinship care is. Anyone at anytime could become a kinship carer – stepping up to raise the child of a family member or friend.

But it’s not easy taking on a child who has had a difficult start in life when you are not prepared for it. So many kinship families and the many challenges they continue to face go unrecognised.

So this year let’s share #ThisIsKinshipCare so we can raise awareness about #KinshipCare and what life is like for #KinshipFamilies.
