Mentor UK has been working with Adfam and Grandparents Plus, with funding from the Department of Health, to assess the needs of grandparents who are bringing up their grandchildren, so that they can help protect their grandchildren from developing problems with drugs and alcohol.
Having worked closely with grandparents around England, we have produced the Mind the Gap resources for grandparents who are bringing up grandchildren and professionals who work with these grandparents, containing:- a staff training pack for a half day training session for staff and volunteers working with grandparents who are bringing up grandchildren;
- an information leaflet for grandparents;
- a DVD about the experiences of grandparents;
- services assessment tools to help improve how well services currently meet the needs of grandparents bringing up their grandchildren;
- a directory of services for grandparents bringing up their grandchildren; and
- policy recommendations for changes in policy and practice in working with grandparents.

The resource pack has been produced as a result of the Mentor UK Grandparents Project.
