NCB Now: News from Wales

Grandparents report launched

A report looking at grandparenting was launched by Children in Wales in March. The report If it Wasn't for you Gran: A Survey of Grandparents in Wales outlined the results of a survey asking grandparents about various aspects of their role. The survey found that:

  • Almost half the grandparents surveyed are making a financial contribution to their children in order to "make ends meet"
  • Significant numbers of grandparents report difficulties in retaining contact with grandchildren following family breakdown
  • Children talk to their grandparents about issues that they would find difficult to broach with their parents

The report can be downloaded from the Children in Wales website www.childreninwales.org.uk or you can email lucy.akhtar@childreninwales.org.uk.
