	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2015 answer text <p>Children live with kinship carers for a wide range of reasons: parental difficulties, mental or physical ill health, divorce or separation, imprisonment or bereavement. The circumstances and legal statuses of children and carers in these arrangements vary widely. There is not, therefore, a single “kinship carer system” and for this reason the Government has not given consideration to making an assessment of the potential for any general misuse of kinship care arrangements</p><p>In 2011, the Department for Education issued ‘Family and Friends Care: Statutory Guidance for Local Authorities’,[1] this guidance is clear that children and young people unable to live with their parents should receive the support they and their carers need to safeguard and promote their welfare, whether or not they are looked after.</p><p>[1] <a href="http://www.gov.uk/government/publications/children-act-1989-family-and-friends-care" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/publications/children-act-1989-family-and-friends-care</a></p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Mr Edward Timpson question first answered 21/01/2015 16:10:21 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2015 answer text <p>Children placed in a kinship care arrangement by a local authority are looked after children, in which case their carer must be approved as a foster carer. In these circumstances, kinship carers must receive the same support, including financial support, as all other foster carers.</p><p> </p><p>The majority of kinship carers will be caring for children who are not looked after.</p><p>Relatives caring for a child in these circumstances are entitled to support, such as child benefit and any other benefits available to parents, subject to the usual eligibility criteria.</p><p> </p><p>In 2011, the Department for Education issued ‘Family and Friends Care: Statutory Guidance for Local Authorities’ which sets out a requirement on local authorities to develop clear, publically accessible policies to describe how they will assess and support children cared for by kinship carers. Such support could include financial help for carers of children who are not looked after, where the local authority assesses this is appropriate.</p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Mr Edward Timpson question first answered 21/01/2015 16:14:36 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson
