Kinship Local Offer

At Lambeth, we believe children thrive best when they can remain safely within their own family networks. When parents are unable to provide day‑to‑day care for their child, kinship care offers children security, continuity, identity and a sense of belonging.

Our Kinship Local Offer sets out the support available to kinship carers, with clear pathways to advice, guidance and specialist services.

The Kinship Local Offer will be reviewed every 2 years, or sooner if national policy requires.

Get in touch with the Kinship Support Team for advice, guidance and support.
