Description

Kinship Care is the full-time nurturing and protection of a child by relatives, or any other adult who has a kinship bond, or long standing relationship, with a child. Kinship care allows families to ensure the children in their care are safe and have a sense of belonging that maintain family connections. It is a commitment that involves being an active member of a professional team, working with children services, reunite children with their parents or to help children achieve permanency.
