Publisher's Synopsis
Family members and friends have traditionally stepped in at times of crisis and looked after their grandchildren, nephews, nieces and godchildren for a day, a week, a month or a lifetime. This handbook aims to give kinship carers information about the choices they can make, the assessment process, the legal framework, the childcare system, the support they can expect and the financial help available. It addresses many of the concerns felt and dilemmas faced by kinship carers.
