Written Question

Carers

Monday 22nd April 2024

Asked by: Holly Mumby-Croft (Conservative - Scunthorpe)

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what progress her Department has made on the roll out of the Championing Kinship Care strategy; and what her planned timetable is for deploying it nationally.

Answered by David Johnston - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education)

In December 2023, the department published 'Championing Kinship Care', which is the first ever national kinship care strategy. The department is investing £20 million of funding in the 2024/25 financial year for Championing Kinship Care to help move towards a children’s social care system with kinship at its heart.

Since the publication of Championing Kinship Care, the department has:

Published its recruitment campaign for the first ever Kinship Ambassador
Published updated local authority funding allocations for the 2024/25 financial year for Virtual School Heads, including the £3.8 million uplift to cover their extended duties to promote the educational outcomes of children in kinship care.
Launched a package of training and support that will be delivered by Kinship. The service will provide both online and in-person training sessions for kinship carers and will cover topics such as contact with parents, how to register for a new school and support with caring for teenagers.

The department will provide an update on the financial allowance pathfinder programme in the coming months.
