This research, conducted by Dr Michelle Egan-Britan and Dr Braden Clark, explores informal and formal Kincare arrangements and provides recommendations to strengthen kinship care in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Grandparents Raising Grandchildren were approached by the lead researchers to provide insight into the work we do with kin carers. We welcome the recommendations in the report and the important discussions raised in it.
