There’s not enough research about the experiences of #KinshipCarers from the Asian community. Our new research with @ReesCentre addresses this gap.
Huge thanks to all the carers who’ve spoken to lead researcher @PriyaTah already. Please get in touch if you’d like to take part.
Are you a #KinshipCarer from a Black or Asian community, living in London or the Midlands? If yes, we’re inviting you to share your experience of raising someone else’s child. There’s info below and you can also find out more from the research team @PriyaTah@Sharon_Kinship
💪 We’re driving forward a new research project, supported by the KPMG Foundation, about the experiences of kinship families from Black, Asian & minority ethnic communities in order to catalyse positive changes in its services & across the sector.

🎉Marcia, a grandmother #KinshipCarer from Walsall, has shared her #DoOneThing action with us!
💪"For #KinshipCareWeek I’ve been compelled to take part in the Oxford University research project about informal caring arrangements in families within the black and Asian community."
❗ @drlucypeake: "We are at a critical point. Waiting any longer risks tens of thousands of children entering a care system that doesn’t have room or resource for them, as well as loving families being ripped apart."

Next week starts #KinshipCareWeek, so a reminder that family and friends who step in to care for children when their parents can’t, get no right to paid leave from work to settle the child into their new life🤯This needs to change! #ValueOurLove@kinshipcharity
