  Petition: Submitted by Karen Steele:     Deadline to sign up: 9th May 2010:

Signing a petition is a great way to show how you feel about the issues that are the concerns of this web site: With your help, we can demonstrate to politicians and decision-makers that people across the UK care passionately about the issues that face grandparents who act as parents and all kinship carers. This is the third petition that grandparents as parents have supported so lets make it our best one yet!.

               You can help by asking colleagues, friends and family to sign up too!

Details of the petition :

It is estimated that there are around 200,000 children being raised by family and friends. Many of these children and their carers are faced with a lack of emotional,practical,and financial support. Carers and the children want  Recognition,Respect, and Reward. Therefore the petitioner asks that the prime minister and government will create a system of fair and honest payments to kinship carers,similar to those paid to foster carers so as to engender a position of parity between the two.
