Kinship care arrangements fall roughly into three categories: (1) informal kinship care, (2) voluntary kinship care, and (3) formal kinship care.
Informal kinship care means youre caring for a child without the involvement of a court system. Most state statutes authorize kinship caregivers to temporarily have decision-making power through designated forms. This can be useful for things like, enrolling children in school or accessing medical care.
They are used to decide whether a family member or friend might be a potentially realistic option to raise a child who cannot live safely with their parent(s). The Guide describes what factors social workers conducting the assessment need to consider, including when undertaking assessments with family members overseas.
Kinship can be broken down into consanguineal, affinal, and social. Consanguineal includes direct blood relatives such as parents and children (lineal kinship), and siblings (collateral kinship). Marriages are considered affinal kinship.
Length of the Approval process In Kinship care the approval process tends to be a little quicker, averaging about 30 days. In emergency situations, children can be placed with a relative more quickly, prior to the approval process, as long as there are no safety concerns.
