Kinship Service is typically the first and least intrusive option for children deemed “in need of protection”; children who are no longer able to reside in their biological family home due to safety concerns. Kinship Service is different from Kinship Care in that the child is not brought into the care of the Society as a “child in care”. Kinship Service is considered a less intrusive measure because it does not require a child to be brought into the care of the Society – which is generally a better option for children and families.

When the custodial caregivers of a child - typically their biological parent(s) - are having problems and cannot safely care for a child, it can be extremely difficult for that child to be placed in foster care. Despite the safety and excellent care they receive in a foster home, the placement is still with people who are strangers to the child. Living with kin - people the child is comfortable and connected with - can make this difficult time easier for a child.
