Contact our advice service - Grandparents Plus

We can advise anyone who is caring for a relative or friend’s child full time, and anyone thinking about becoming a kinship carer. Our advisers are impartial, non-judgemental and the service is confidential. We aim to reply to your enquiry within 5 working days.

If you have not received a response from us within 5 working days, please check your junk or spam inbox for a reply.

Please note we can only advise Kinship Carers in England and Wales.

Unfortunately, we can’t give individual advice on regaining contact with a grandchild. For this please contact Family Lives on 0808 800 22 22.
