What’s in the library?

Our library is created with kinship carers. So you’ll hear the voices of other kinship carers, many who run groups of their own, who kindly share their experience.

You’ll also hear from the people who work at Kinship. The support we can give – if you’d like it. Things like – ‘what is a group agreement and how can they help a group? Or ‘Not everyone is getting involved – how do I manage that?

It’s free to access and we’ve divided it into different topics, so you can easily choose the sections that are you’re most interested in. You can dip in and out. Watch videos, download resources and read helpful information. And we’re always adding to it with your requests.
