- Relational working

- Nurture and Containment

- Right help at the right time

- Empowerment

- Be understood and heard

• Legal and Financial Support that includes assistance with benefits, housing, and education

• Community and Peer Support which is essential in supporting kinship carers to navigate their roles and connect with others in similar situations

• Share ideas and principles important to children and families when identifying family networks and the support they can offer
