It is estimated that there are between 200,000 and 300,000 children being raised by relatives and friends in the UK. Studies of family and friends care arrangements have shown that a small but significant number of these children are being raised by their older siblings. This research project is the first study of this particular group of carers. The aims of the study are to find out more about these sibling care arrangements and to hear from carers about what would make a difference to their lives and the children they are raising. The data in this study derives from: interviews with 11 sibling carers or their spouses and 1 interview with a kinship care team social worker; a web-survey questionnaire that was posted on the Family Rights Group website; and postings on the charity’s family and friends electronic discussion board. Many of these participants had encountered obstacles as they looked for support and assistance with their new responsibilities and felt they were not being taken seriously. The report includes a legal chapter which describes the different legal arrangements that can apply to sibling care arrangements and an international literature review. A number of recommendations for government, local authorities, and sibling carers are provided in order to help promote and support sibling care arrangements.

A good practice developed for social workers conducting initial family and friends care assessments, commonly known as viability assessments. Viability assessment are increasingly being used by local authorities to decide whether a family member of friend might be a potentially realistic option to raise a child who cannot live safely with their parents. The guide, developed in partnership with an expert working group, is a response to the lack of any minimum standards as to how such assessments are conducted. It lists what factors social workers conducting the assessment need to consider, including when undertaking assessments with family members overseas. It includes research evidence, examples from practice, a schedule and an example template. It also contains resources for family members to help them understand the purpose of an initial assessment, what it will entail, what they need to consider and how to get independent advice. Although primarily developed for social workers, it is also be relevant for other professionals who make decisions about, work with or represent family and friends carers and the children who may be unable to live safely with their parents.
