KCV makes its resources even more accessible

The response to the KCV resource books has been outstanding. Therefore, KCV has decided to make access to the documents even easier by dividing the one interactive guide into five separate guides, each addressing a popular theme, namely financial support, legal matters & rights, wellbeing, family relationships and podcasts.

Through constant review of current information and addition of new information, KCV plans to ensure that carers are empowered to make choices and decisions that best suit their needs, said Helen Brown, Chairperson of GPV/KCV.

Feedback from users of the resources is always welcomed.
