Mr. Damien Peelo:

It does not need to be formalised to be supported; it is the informal. As the Deputy mentioned, it is about the ability to adapt and be flexible in situations. However, the needs to be support for both the parent of that child who has gone into kinship care and the kinship carer because there are often tensions as well around how to parent in those cases. There are a lot more supports that could be offered to the parent and to the family if the resources are there to give it.
