Legal as well as policy drivers including The Promise have led to a shifting landscape towards whole family support and children being placed with their family. Many local authorities have now moved towards having a kinship care panel to oversee their assessments of children and carers. These panels are regularly dealing with complex situations in reaching the best recommendation for children and young people.

Learning Objectives

This workshop will enable you to:

• Explore the legal and regulatory framework for kinship care panels
• Consider the roles and responsibilities of the kinship care panel
• Discuss the key dilemmas that panels face
• Have an opportunity to share good practice with other panel members
