Kinship Care Mind Map: Key Branches
Kinship care is the care of a child by relatives or close family friends, instead of the child's parents. It can be informal, arranged privately within the family, or formal, arranged through a child welfare agency or court. A kinship care mind map separates these arrangements and shows how each one connects to the legal roles of guardians, carers and placement types, along with the support available to families.
- Informal arrangements: private family care without state involvement
- Formal arrangements: placements through agencies or court orders
- Legal roles: guardianship, custody and foster-type approval
- Support services: financial, housing and counseling assistance
- Child needs: stability, contact with parents and cultural ties
Use the map to revise for exams, compare placement types or plan a case discussion. CogniGuide can build a personalized kinship care map from your own notes.
Kinship Care Mind Map Questions

Who can be a kinship carer?
Kinship carers are usually grandparents, aunts, uncles, older siblings or close family friends who take on the care of a child. Eligibility and approval rules vary by jurisdiction and placement type.
Which files can I use to make my kinship care map?
