Episode 35 | The kinship assessment process: listening to carers
For Kinship Care Week, Ann Horne interviewed Clare Seth about their work on the new Form K (previously known as Form C) due to be launched in January 2025. Clare shares the feedback from focus groups, including the voices of kinship carers, and how they used this to inform the development of Form K.
Form K is currently being piloted within 10 local authorities across the UK. CoramBAAF hopes the revised form will improve the assessment experience for kinship carers. We hope it will enable relationship-based assessment practice that captures their strengths and vulnerabilities, and what is important to them as a family.
