“Support Kinship Carers to access services without discrimination in order that they can give the children in their care the best quality of life possible”
Audrey Platt, Link worker, Family Addiction Support Services.
Kinship Carers are truly remarkable people and are the experts on their situation – hear them speak!
Allan Young, Researcher, Poverty Truth Commission
I am backing the Kinship Alliance’s call to build a Scotland-wide alliance for the rights of Kinship children. Kinship carers should have the same access to basic rights as parents and foster parents.
Jackie Baillie, MSP for Dumbarton
Kinship Care works. Without it thousands of children would be facing a much less secure childhood and the State would be facing the enormous expense of caring for those children.
Anne Marie Peffer, Casework Manager Scotland Buttle UK
I am delighted that a Scottish Kinship Care Alliance is being formed for mutual support and to campaign to secure social justice for Carers and the children they care for.
Bob Winter, Lord Provost of Glasgow OBE 2007-2012
Kinship Care is part of the solution to the problems faced by children in dreadful situations. Solutions should be supported, fostered and, in this case, treasured. I am proud to be connected to the new Alliance and wish everyone involved great success.
Anne Marie Peffer, Buttle UK Scotland Manager
“FASS Glasgow has been involved with Glasgow’s Kinship Carers for many years and will continue to do our utmost to meet their needs.”
