Welcome
Being a kinship carer can be tough, but I wouldn’t change a thing. When your kid runs up and throws their arms around you it’s all worth it
Welcome to the National Kinship Care Website for Scotland
This website will:
- keep you up to date with kinship news
- update you on kinship policy changes and how they impact on you
- provide a full copy of the new kinship care guide detailing your rights, roles and responsibilities
- keep you up to date on financial developments
- provide a list of emergency contacts
- provide you with list of support groups in your area
- provide you with a list of national and local support organisations that can help you
- connect you with other kinship carers

This website is a work in progress and it shall continue to evolve over the next few months. We aim for this website to be a hub of all information that you need in helping you support the children in your care.
