Hertfordshire’s Kinship Care Local Offer webpage now live

There are nearly 800 Hertfordshire children living in kinship families in Hertfordshire and around the country.  Following national Kinship Care Week (6-12 October), we want to take a moment to recognise and thank the kinship carers who make a lasting difference in children’s lives. Kinship carers are grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings and close family friends who step in with open hearts and open arms, often in challenging circumstances, to provide the stability, safety and nurturing that every child deserves.

As part of our commitment to supporting kinship families, we are pleased to share Hertfordshire’s Kinship Care Local Offer webpage. This new online resource provides clear, accessible information and support for kinship families. It brings together practical guidance, services, and advice in one place, shaped by feedback from carers and professionals across Hertfordshire.  Please take a moment to explore the site and share it with families, colleagues, and partners who may benefit: www.hertfordshire.gov.uk/kinship
