The Scottish Government has published updated non-statutory guidance to accompany Part 13 of the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014 (Support for Kinship Care) and The Kinship Care Assistance (Scotland) Order 2016. The updated guidance reflects growing knowledge about the particular needs of children in kinship care and of their carers, and the supports which best enable carers to meet the needs of the children in their care.
The format and content has been informed by carers and practitioners, including the need for the guidance to explain the legislation more clearly. Particular attention has been paid to consistency of definition, and good practice.
