Remember Victoria Climbié - born this day, 1991. Her favourite colour was red and she liked to entertain. The death of this 8-year-old led to improved child protection policies/practices and a promise to make the difference for those we serve #VictoriaClimbié #everychildmatters

162K children being brought up by a relative know the value of love. But, unlike children in foster care, most of these families receive no support. Tell politicians to keep children within their families by adding your name today #ValueOurLove valueourlove.kinship.org.uk/join-campaign

From today, the legal marriage age rises from 16 to 18. This is a huge win in the campaign to #EndChildMarriage. We’re extremely proud to have worked on this legislative change w/ Pauline Latham OBE, Dr Charlotte Proudman, @PayzeeMalika, Garden Court Chambers & our Girls Not Brides co-chairs! 🫶🏾⚖️

We're pleased to welcome Tesco announcement that they will be providing paid #KinshipCareLeave on a par with adoption leave for all #SpecialGuardians in their workforce. We hope that over time, the policy will be extended to all #KinshipCarers.

#DoOneThing #KinshipCareWeek ‘Breaking Point: kinship carers in crisis’ which found that 19,000 children, are at risk of entering the care system due to the lack of financial support for kinship families. #KinshipCare

Kinship carers urgently need the upcoming Kinship Care Strategy to #ValueOurLove. Please send David Johnston MP a quick email today and make sure he knows that kinship care needs to stay in the spotlight. secure.kinship.org.uk/page/134865/ac…
