	Price: £6.50	BAAF, Published August 2005 ISBN 978-1-903699-80-5

This handbook aims to give families and friends who are kinship carers, or may become kinship carers, information about the choices they can make, the assessment process, the legal framework, the child care system, the support they can expect and the financial help available. It discusses some of the most common problems faced by kinship carers who have to balance the interests of the child, and the child’s parents, with their own.
