Grandparents and kinship care
Children in Wales and the Grandparents Association are hosting a joint conference on grandparents and kinship care. The conference, which will take place on 31 March, will put a spotlight on the important role grandparents play in supporting sometimes very vulnerable children. It will bring leading policy makers and professionals in the field together to review policy and practice around kinship care and provide examples of good practice from across Wales and the UK.
Speakers will include Ruth Marks, older people's commissioner for Wales and Lynn Chesterman, chief executive of The Grandparents' Association.
