Kinship care has huge potential??
And research has a big part to play
• If we can understand better how it works in its infinite variety
• Why placements work well when they work well
• Why they get into trouble when they do - and what can we do to prevent that
• If we can re-engineer our approach to supporting kinship carers and
kinship care placements
• Research as key to getting closer to solving these challenges and to
opening up better futures for children who can benefit from kinship care
• Research allows us to learn from the experiences and insights of others, in
similar and different contexts
