AFKA Scotland and the University of Edinburgh collaborated to find out about the housing needs of children living in kinship care and their families/carers in Scotland. Robin Sen (Lecturer in Social Work, UoE), Autumn Roesch-Marsh (Senior Lecturer in Social Work, UoE) and Andrew Burns (Lead Researcher, AFKA) worked together to organise and facilitate two roundtable discussions involving those with lived, practice, policy, and research experience in kinship and/or housing to discuss the issues and potential solutions.
The reports and briefings from the above project are now available and can be accessed via UoE links provided below:
