Children in Kinship Care May Fare Better Behaviorally
Children placed in kinship homes tend to fare better behaviorally and socially than children placed in foster care, though they may be at greater risk for pregnancy and substance use in adolescence, and their caregivers receive fewer support services, according to research published in the February issue of the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine.

It is basic common sense that tells you that children cared for by an extended member of the Family, such as Grandparents will thrive and behave themselves, more than than other children who are put into foster care.
Social Workers have a mandatory duty under the Public Law Guidelines to consider the Kincare clause, before taking a child and placing them in care of the Local Authority.
The former would save millions of pounds at the taxpayers expense, some private agencies pay their carers up to £800 per week for one child.
Social workers disregard this guideline on a regular basis with regards to my caseload.
