Kinship Carers Liverpool
Dr Aoife Daly acts as a consultant on the Baring Foundation-funded project Kinship Counts. Aoife is working with Kinship Carers Liverpool and Liverpool Council on this project which seeks to embed human rights-based approaches to work with kinship carers, a group of persons who take on the care of children of other family members.
Kinship carers are often not treated as a distinct group with problems particular to them. They often receive little if any financial or other support. The project seeks to secure a number of tangible outcomes, for example greater access to information and a Liverpool Charter for Kinship Care.
Good practice examples of implementing UN human rights treaties
Dr Aoife Daly is working with Dr Joshua Curtis (University of Liverpool) and Dr Yvonne McDermott Rees (University of Swansea) on a project commissioned by the UK Equality and Human Rights Commission on good practice examples of implementing UN human rights treaties around the globe. The report which results from this work will inform the work of the Commission, facilitating it to better work for implementation of human rights in the UK.
