Are you a kinship carer? Please come along to a FREE life story work in kinship care workshop. Facilitated by myself and Dr Paul Shuttleworth, this workshops is based on Paul's research speaking to children in kinship care and my research about contact in special guardianship orders and recognises as kinship carers we 'live the story' and require a different approach to adoption and fostering.
It is funded by the Department for Education with the charity Kinship. Click the link below for an online or in person workshop today.
