Special Guardianship

Special Guardianship

Our panel of carefully selected Specialist Solicitors are always here to support and assist when needed. 

What is Special Guardianship?

In cases where a child is cared for by someone other than a parent, such as a family member or former foster carer, and a permanent arrangement is needed.

Our panel of specialist solicitors will be able to provide guidance on applying for a Special Guardianship Order (SGO), draft the application, and assist throughout the entire process.

Reasons to seek a Special Guardianship Order (SGO) include:

  • Providing the child with the stability of a permanent home
  • Granting the special guardian the authority to make day-to-day decisions for the child
  • Unlike adoption, allowing the child's birth parents to retain parental responsibility, with the special guardian consulting them on significant decisions like relocation or name changes
