It's vital that the voices and experiences of kinship carers are heard by social workers and decision-makers. In this blog for #KinshipCareWeek Kerrie, a kinship carer and family worker, explains why it's so important that we listen to kinship carers: ow.ly/ucY050Nk8GU
Sometimes children/young people experience issues within their birth family and can no longer live at home. If this happens, they may be able to live with other family members - known as Kinship Care. Watch below for more info, or visit kinship.scot. #KinshipCareWeek
