Summary
Join us to hear about the findings from the Growing Up in Kinship Care study. The webinar will highlight the key insights gained from examining the data of over 19,000 children and young people who had lived in kinship care over a ten-year period, and what these insights tell us about what is needed to support Scotland’s kinship families.
Our speakers will share their reflections on the challenges faced by kinship families in Scotland, their experiences of supporting children and young people living with kinship carers, and the implications of the research for practice and policy. You will have an opportunity to discuss and ask questions.
