Morning Extra - Are kinship carers getting enough support?

Logo for Morning Extra - Are kinship carers getting enough support?

Scotland's 2,000 kinship carers say they've been let down after being promised the same level of payments given to foster parents. The money was due to be paid from April, yet only two out of 32 councils are living up to that promise so far. Are you a kinship carer? Perhaps you're a grandparent who takes care of a child because the parents have a drug addiction or mental illness. Are you getting the support you need? Graham Stewart takes your calls, texts and emails.
