This has built impactfully on our previous years, with there being significant increase on our reach outside of London, our visibility in the research and policy influence and involvement, alongside recognition of our young people's work within the field of Kinship Care. We have been involved in the ongoing development of the Department for Education National Kinship Strategy, which have led to shaping the lived experience racial lens through which kinship local offers are being developed. We are a member organisation on the National Kinship Care Ambassadors Board, and we continue to Chair the Kinship Care Alliance Race Equality Sub-group. We secured our first major research partnership with Cardiff University, funded via Foundations, which is currently giving up the resources to conduct the first ever major research into the needs of mixed heritage children growing up in kinship care. We have continued to grow our peer support networks in the Birmingham, Bristol, Essex, Manchester and London regions, adding a further 20 families. A large amount of casework and advocacy relating to Placement stability schools, housing health, etc is still the main request from the network, however we are forming more sustainable options for longer term support through partnerships with larger organisations such as Family Rights Group. The benefit for families has been to reduce the levels of stress in the household, advocating for individual support plans that enable children to remain in school, and receive the necessary assessments. We have contributed to several conferences, policy and practice papers during the year, leading to increased visibility and collaboration work opportunities and greater promotion for the organisation. We received funding to work with a consultant to produce a 3-year Strategy which has helped to clarify our priorities and focus where our resources are targeted. 82 families supported this year 100 professionals trained this year 10 carers delivering talks, attending kinship care meeting representing 1 kinship carer trained and participating in peer research 1 kinship care experienced young people trained and participating in peer research 1 kinship care experienced young person trained and delivering peer mentoring sessions 2 new volunteers trained
Our stakeholders continue to champion us as an organisation including our immerging new board with a stronger emphasis on lived experience via kinship carers, kinship young adults (18–25-year-olds) and community partners. . Our peer support group meetings continue to provide a platform to consult on operational and strategic matters that help shape ongoing direction of our work. As part of the 3-year strategy we have increased opportunities for our lived experienced stakeholders to be involved in shorter time-limited pieces of coproduction work, allowing for those who are unable to make longer commitments to joining boards etc to still have a greater level of involvement.
