Grandparents Plus

Grandparents Plus promotes the vital role of grandparents and the extended family in children's lives, particularly where parents are no longer able to care for their children. We do this through partnerships, evidence based projects and training to support practitioners, and through networks, newsletters and consultation to give grandparents, extended families and grandchildren a voice.

4 - is developing the Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Network
5 - uses our experience and work to influence policy and practice

7 - supports the South East kinship care network
8 - is exploring the feasibility of "grandparent" Champions

Grandparents Plus aims to raise the profile of grandparents and the extended family as providers of essential care, especially to vulnerable children.
