Forgotten Report (Kinship, 2024)

Forgotten explores the support which children in kinship care receive – or don’t receive – to help them learn well at school and to manage their mental health and relationships. It shares insights from our 2023 annual survey of kinship carers to reveal how a complex, inadequate and often inaccessible landscape of support for kinship children around education, special educational or additional learning needs, mental health and family contact and relationships is resulting in significant challenges for kinship families across England and Wales.
