What the petition asks
Support all local authorities around kinship care, not just 10 pilot local authorities. Kinship carers have struggled for way too long and do it for love, only love doesn’t pay the bills or the extra cost of bringing up a child. How can you Choose 10 local authorities around? Choose them all!
