| Annotation | Grandparents Plus believe that we need to recognise, value and support the role of grandparents and the wider family, on which this report brings together evidence. This report aims to demonstrate the significance of grandparents' contribution to family life, something which is often taken for granted and is little understood. It looks at the growth of grandparental childcare; and presents evidence that grandparents of working age should have access to flexible working. It considers examples of grandparents providing family support and kinship care, and as influencers. Their role in the wider intergenerational contract is considered in the current debate about social care reform. (RH). |
