Description This article summarises the main research evidence about children living in kinship care placements in the United Kingdom (UK). It identifies key themes emerging from the literature and concludes with policy and practice recommendations. It is argued that whilst the evidence about kinship care outcomes is equivocal it nevetheless indicates that kinship care is at least as good as other placements and that it should become more integrated into permanency planning and family support, and be propery recognised, financed and supported.
