The information contained within the website “Kinship Circle” has been written and collated by a kinship carer, who struggled through the system without knowing what she was doing for a very long time. She always wished there was a place to go where lots of information for kinship carers could be found all together, and so “Kinship Circle” was born.

Her personal journey has shaped the content of “Kinship Circle”, and she makes no apology for her frankness, or her subjectivity. The aim of developing “Kinship Circle” was to be able to share the things she has learnt on her journey, that may help other kinship carers with theirs.
