“ I would of course be happy to endorse the benefits of being members of the Grandparents’ Association. In my view membership is co-terminus with the current drive on the prevention agenda and the support for kinship carers, to be indentified and supported in order to maintain children within their families of origin, as endorsed by the new Public Law Outline in April 2008. The information booklets you produce have proved invaluable to both staff and carers setting out in plain language the nuances of the legal framework. “
This testimonial is from Carol Salmon, Children Services at Flintshire County Council.
