Courses

At Kinship Circles Training, we believe change begins with conversation.

Our lived‑experience trainers guide schools, local authorities, health professionals, charities, community or any other organisation in creating trauma‑informed, whole‑family support that recognises the unique needs of kinship children, carers, and siblings.

We can help if

• Your school or organisation wants to improve how it supports kinship families

• You are planning CPD, INSET days, whole‑school training or policy development

• Your local authority is developing strategy, early‑help pathways, or practice guidance

• Your organisation wants lived‑experience insight for research, conferences, or service design

• You are a professional who simply wants to know more about kinship care
