KCV believes that:
- all children must be protected and given opportunity to fulfil their potential.
- the needs of families are becoming more complex and the support grandparents can offer to their own family and to other families is significant
- grandparents and kinship carers have unique understandings that should influence decisions about child wellbeing and through acting together they will be strong advocates
- grandparents and kinship carers have a responsibility to engage in public discussions and to act to ensure the wellbeing of children
