KCV PODCAST Support for Young People Exploring Their Biological Identity

In 2024, GPV/KCV developed a statement reflecting its views. At its heart is a simple but powerful principle - that every child and young person has the right to know as much as possible about their biological family and personal history. Supporting children and young people through this journey - with honesty, care and emotional safety - is an important part of the role many kinship carers hold. In this episode, we speak with Dr Michelle Blanchard, CEO of VANISH, an organisation that supports people affected by past adoption practices, as well as care leavers and donor-conceived individuals.
