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
inform you of any events you may be interested in attending

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.

If there is anything that you would like to share or feel that there is something important that needs to be highlighted please do not hesitate to contact us.
