@foundationsww.bsky.socialLast week the Department for Education published an updated #KinshipCare statutory guidance for local authorities 🧠We’re so pleased to see our work included as key resources for local areas as they look to implement the guidance.
@cascaderesearch.bsky.socialThis is an England / Wales study exploring how children in kinship care experience and maintain important relationships, and how policy and practice can better support their social networks.

@madebyclutch.bsky.socialThe placement call came. The welcome bag is still empty. A hoodie printed with a small brave-day design goes in first. Ships as a real garment, not a digital file. #FosterCare #KinshipCare

@chapinhall.bsky.social"Placing children outside their homes is sometimes necessary, and kinship homes are showing some of our strongest, most positive results for children," said Claire Kimberly last week's webinar. Watch the recording for the evidence on #KinshipCare:
@louisereeve1.bsky.socialFrom @chroniclelive.co.uk - piloting #KinshipCare schemes: "for every 100 #children looked after in well-supported kinship care rather than local authority care, the state saves ÂŁ4m per year and increases the lifetime earnings of those children by ÂŁ2m..." www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-e...

@madebyclutch.bsky.socialPlacement call came. Welcome bag still missing one thing. A hoodie printed with a gentle original brave-day design. Nothing loud, nothing sentimental, just theirs to keep. #FosterCare #KinshipCare
@chapinhall.bsky.social#KinshipCare leads to many better outcomes for children. Lower likelihood of mental health disorders is just one of them.Â
