Stands for
KC — Care of a child by extended family or friends — not treated as a second-class placement.
How it works in KallosSim
- In practice language — Care of a child by extended family or friends — not treated as a second-class placement.
- What it means — Kinship (or connected-person) care keeps children within their family network where safe. Carers often face financial pressure, dual loyalties, and less support than unrelated foster carers. Assessments and conversations should recognise kinship carers as partners, not just service recipients, and explore viability before concluding 'nothing else will do'.
- In KallosSim — Cases and formative debriefs may reference this concept when your sector pack and card selections call for it.
Training only. Fictional AI-generated cases only — not legal advice, not live decision support, not a substitute for supervision.
What it is not
- A substitute for reading primary statute or your organisation’s procedures.
- Competence assessment, ASYE sign-off, or Bar / SRA / CIPD accreditation.
- Advice for a live family, employee, client, or court matter.
