Are kinship carers getting enough support?

BBC Radio Scotland - Morning Extra, Are kinship carers getting enough support?

Graham Stewart takes your calls on the kinship carers who're missing out on payments.

Graham Stewart takes your calls on the kinship carers who've been let down after being promised the same level of payments given to foster parents.

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?
