I just want to follow up on that. The guidance will do that, but we are talking about families who are not getting support. There needs to be a little bit of promotion, so that people who are not currently in the social work process or the council process can understand that assistance exists. Will such promotion be done?

That is very helpful. Thank you very much.

I was also a councillor, from 2017 to the end of that term.

Those last answers were very interesting. I will add a question on blending of informal and formal care. Everything that we have been talking about is formal kinship care, which comes through the process, but what about the support needs of people who might be nervous about coming forward for additional support, because they have an informal arrangement and would not want to move into what would be considered a very formal arrangement? Is there any blending? Where do you envisage the crossover line that always exists at the outside of any policy being?

Good morning, minister. Thank you very much for your opening statement, which was very informative.

Stakeholder groups have called for the Scottish Government to clarify which kinship carers are eligible for the Scottish recommended allowance. Can you provide clarity on that, please?

Thank you for that.

Thank you. That is very helpful.

In what other ways does IIAC get the information that it needs to advise ministers? Obviously, ministers do a lot of work themselves, but in what other ways does IIAC get information?

It would be very good to read that guidance.

I do not think that there is anyone who cannot identify the difference between the needs of a five-year-old and those of a 15-year-old, but the allowance for five to 11-year-olds is exactly the same as that for 11 to 15-year-olds. The Kinship Care Advice Service for Scotland has said that that is “challenging to understand”. Will you tell us the reasoning behind that?

My questions are for Dr Rushton.

Thank you for the overview that you have given. I am also reasonably new, although not totally new, to my role, and this is the first time that I am getting an understanding of what it is that both bodies actually do. Having said that, I am aware that IIAC can commission literature reviews. Can you give me a rough idea of what IIAC spends on those reviews?

Thank you, minister.
