About the Seminar
Mentor has been working for the last 6
years with Kinship carers across
Scotland. Through research and
consultation we have produced the
National Kinship Resource Guide,
delivered hands on support to build
resilience and improve family
relationships and we are currently
developing training resources.
This seminar will provide an opportunity
to look at future developments of
kinship care within the CYP Act, share
good practice across the 32 local
authorities, look at finance and
educational support as well as training
& collaborative opportunities
About Mentor
Mentor is a registered UK Charity that
focuses on the prevention of drug
misuse in its efforts to promote the
