<t>Hi Nana 20 , you can join NAKCto get full access to their information,this will involve a simple registration process,I am not sure if they are a charity or not, who cares?<br/> The thread just asks if there is inequality and it has been established that there is.People that feel that they are di...

<t>Thanks for that David, the original thread was inequality in support for kinship cares.As there are now several professional organisations that are seeking to standardise the support that kinship carers get with some clear evidence to support that inequality exists and that it is a matter of wher...

<t>The original post was Equality in terms of support.As is demonstrated by all there is no equality.The reasons are complicated and for those who get nothing it is their right to bring attention to this.I am not trying to "hold a case up" for everyone, I am just pointing out what the FRG, universit...

<t>Hi Nana 20 welcome to the forum, Oh I wish we had the same support as you, best of luck for the future and I agree,some local authorities do provide good support.Help 1870, Davids link says " Analysis carried out by the FRG with the help of Birmingham University<br/> <br/> Quote "The report analy...

<t>Hi maricharle Just search NAKC on Google it will display the website of the national association of kinship carers who have conducted the study.If you cant find it I will post a link or let me have your email and I will send the report. Hi Help 1870 , this charity is trying to gain support for ki...

<t>NAKC are drafting a letter to lobby government on behalf of kinship carers. They have produced some quite interesting data that makes clear that financial support is more to do with where you live and that not all LA'S means test. Also Scotland and Ireland have a well defined support package and ...

<t>All decisions in court are made with the childs welfare foremost in mind. I can see circumstances where an SGO could be challenged where say a child of an age able to make an informed choice chooses to live with a rehabilitated parent. I doubt that in practice that this would happen as uprooting ...

<t>Hi yogibear, I would be disappointed too if i were you. I do not see how the bill for the psyche thing fall on your lap who is it for and for what purpose?<br/> I assume the mother has legal aid, they are tightening up on the funding for it.We had various full hearing dates set and a right nightm...
