Improving practice – kinship care and housing
On November 26, we will be joining Scottish Government for an online event - Improving practice – kinship care and housing. The event will provide valuable insights for practitioners and leaders across housing, social work and beyond.
Every kinship family’s circumstances are unique, but many find themselves navigating complex emotional, practical and financial challenges.
The session will include insight from many kinship families who have recently responded to ‘An Open Door’ – a consultation across five Local Authority areas.
The event will include an introduction to a brand-new resource from ALACHO (The Association of Chief Housing Officers) which will help housing services to consider how their policies, processes and day-to-day practice can contribute to successful and sustainable kinship care arrangements.
There will be spotlights on some current tests of change to help better respond to kinship families’ home and housing needs.
