grandparents Plus
In the 21st century following decades of social change including family breakdown and more mothers working, the importance of grandparents, their contribution and (sometimes) their problems is gradually attracting more attention.

'grandparents plus' became operational in late 2001 and aims to promote the better care, upbringing and establishment in life of children, in particular by:

• promoting the role of kinship care and also care by grandparents at all levels, particularly in circumstances of family breakdown, single parenthood or other difficult conditions;
  
  
• supporting and advising grandparents and other kin who are acting as, or intend to act as carers, particularly in the circumstances mentioned above.
