Outbound Permanence Team | Placing children living in the UK overseas on a Special Guardianship Order: Legal and Practice considerations

THEME

This half-day training is aimed at local authority professionals – both social workers and lawyers - who are involved in the placement of children currently living in the UK with kinship carers overseas on a Special Guardianship Order. It will provide an overview of the legal and practice issues regarding Special Guardianship for children being placed abroad. There will then be ample time to discuss issues regarding Special Guardianship overseas cases during case studies and group discussion.
 

LEARNING OUTCOMES

1. To have an understanding of the legal framework and eligibility considerations in Special Guardianship overseas
2. To be aware of the common issues that can arise
3. To network and learn from peers how they have navigated specific cases in this complicated area of work
