Get involved at Kinship

We’re looking for kinship carers to get involved in shaping our work.

Based on your experience and expertise as a kinship carer, you’ll tell us what you think of our ideas, offer your own suggestions, test different options and help create elements of our services. You can give as much time as you like.

Tell us what you are interested in
We currently offer the following ways to get involved:

Short surveys, polls or email feedback
 

You’ll tell us your view on a specific subject by completing a short survey, poll or providing feedback by email. The time commitment is low and you can respond at a time that suits you.


Attend a consultation event, focus group or an informal 1:1 meeting

You’ll meet us in person or online, taking part in discussions and activities to shape our work. There’s no up-front commitment – you simply book on to events as and when they come up.


Sit on a panel or working group

You'll be part of a small group of kinship carers that meets on a regular basis to collaborate with staff on a specific project. The time commitment will vary depending on the group, but is expected to be between one and three days per month.


Please tick the boxes below to tell us what you'd like to be contacted about

Ticking these boxes doesn’t mean you have to commit to anything at this stage. We will let you know when activities are available, including how much time commitment is needed, before you decide whether to go ahead.
