Submission Documents: By Councillor Matt Kerr:- "Council recognises the important role that kinship carers play in the welfare of vulnerable children and young people; is deeply concerned at the Scottish Government's disproportionate allocation of kinship care allowance funds to Glasgow; is further concerned that this funding model does not take account of the scale of need within Glasgow and the current level of children and young people in kinship care; believes this to be a social injustice perpetrated on some of Glasgow's most vulnerable children; notes that this will result in a significant resource demand and pressure on frontline services, including significant pressures on carers and other vulnerable groups; and calls on the Scottish Government to deliver a finance settlement that provides the additional £2.5m required to fully fund kinship care in Glasgow."
