Theme
This two hour 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 to 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 in overseas cases during the case study and group discussion.
Learning objectives
By the end of the day, participants will learn how:
- To have an understanding of the legal framework and eligibility considerations in special guardianship overseas
- To be aware of the common issues that can arise
- To have a wider understanding of practice issues relating to viability, assessment and support in an overseas context
