This afternoon, with fellow kinship carer Stuart, my first-time having the pleasure of attending House of Commons to meeting held by APPG on Kinship Care. Lovely to have the opportunity to speak with ministers on #KinshipCare (and grab a selfie with Baroness Armstrong)
A clear definition of #KinshipCare which enables all kinship families to be recognised and better supported. Family Rights Group called for Government to implement a legal definition. Glad to hear Claire Coutinho MP agree this is required.

#Jamaica beyond #Windrush generation: During my first week of The Churchill Fellowship I've had impromptu talks with #kinshipcare experienced children. Their passion for education is evident; as are the aspirations for routes out of #poverty through economic migration to the #USA and #UK
For some children, their older brother or sister is also the person raising them 👪
Jody-Lee is raising her younger brother and she has a message to share about her family and what she would like people to know about sibling carers and #KinshipCare 🌟
