Support

This support and information section will provide you with links to the wide range of support that is available to you throughout Scotland.  This support can range from meeting with fellow kinship carers who have been through similar experiences as yourself in your local area to receiving support specific to you or your family’s needs through local and or national services. We also have links to each local authority’s social work services website and emergency contact numbers.
