Kith and Kin Arrangement Law and Legal Definition
Kith and Kin Arrangement refers to an agreement between a child protection worker and members of the child’s extended family or other person known to the child, to care for and financially support the child. These arrangements are often in writing and it implies the permanent or temporary inability of the natural parents to fully care for the child. Usually, a kith and kin arrangement is temporary, allowing the natural parents to re-arrange their lives to address child safety and protection concerns and to properly accommodate and care for the child. Most kith and kin arrangements do not involve social workers or child protection officers or the courts and are informal such as, for example, day care. Kith and Kin Arrangement is also known as kinship care.
