Announcement

WELCOME! This website belongs to all Grandparent and Kinship Carers: We are first and foremost an independant campaigning group fighting for the rights of grandparent and Kinship carers within the U.K. This is a family run organisation, not a charity: neither do we get funding from any source. All expenses incurred are paid for by myself and members of my family. I started G.A.P in 2003. to help other grandparents that are going through the same struggles that I went through, hoping and praying that somehow we can make a difference. Would you like to campaign for a better deal for grandparent and kinship carers ?, would you like to join the forum ?email grandparentsasparents@hotmail.com .................. COMING SOON!!! KINSHIP CARERS WALK FOR JUSTICE: TO HAND IN PETITION AT 10 DOWNING ST. WALK STARTS AT BERWICK UPON TWEED ON JUNE 1st ENDS AT DOWNING ST. ON JUNE 16th :: MORE DETAILS COMING SOON!!!!

Do you think grandparent/kinship carers should be trained?

It has been suggested that to be able to get allowances on par with foster carers allowances kinship carers should undergo CRB checks and training. What are your thoughts on this issue?.
