Special guardianship orders are crucial for providing stable care arrangements outside of traditional parenting. Our team excels in navigating the legal intricacies, ensuring secure and supportive environments for children under these unique circumstances.
You will need to go through an assessment programme by your local authority’s children’s services department to ensure that an SGO is in the child’s best interests. They will investigate and prepare a report for the court.
You can make an application for an order here and a supporting statement here https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/form-c13a-supplement-for-an-application-for-a-special-guardianship-order
