How we help / Family members

Family members

If you're a grandparent, aunt, uncle, sibling or carer supporting a child, this page is for you. Whether you've taken on full-time care, or you're worried about a child's wellbeing and don't know where to turn, you don't have to work it out alone. 

How we can help

You might be a grandparent raising your grandchildren, a kinship carer or family and friends carer, or an aunt, uncle or older sibling looking out for a child in your life. Support that's written for parents doesn't always fit your situation, so we've brought together the services, resources and referral routes that do.

Access free resources

Explore guidance and tools built for the issues family carers face, available whenever you need them.
