The Guardian has published an article on the support received by grandparents and other relatives who are raising children. The article discusses: how more children left care through a special guardianship order than through adoption for the first time in 2019; the lack of preparation and support for special guardians; the navigation of complex dynamics between the kinship carers and child’s family; the lack of awareness from some professionals of kinship care and special guardianship.
