Conclusion
We welcome the government’s recent and planned reforms and focused work in the area of kinship care. However, efforts must not end there. Children should be able to stay within family networks wherever possible, having due regard to the child’s best interests and welfare. The experiences and expertise of kinship families must be given proper consideration when decisions are being made about changes to the system. (Conclusion, Paragraph 83)
