Relative Caregivers

Relative caregivers are family members or close friends who take on the responsibility of caring for a child when the child's parents are unable to do so, due to factors like illness, absence, or other circumstances. These caregivers might be grandparents, aunts, uncles, or other relatives. They often provide a stable, familiar environment for the child and may work with legal or child welfare agencies to ensure the child's needs are met. Their role is essential in maintaining family connections and ensuring children are cared for in a safe and supportive setting.
