Special guardianship in practice

Special guardianship is a well used option for finding permanence for children. But how has it worked out in practice? This research study provides a critical assessment of the implementation of special guardianship in eight local authority areas. It explores the policy and practice issues that arose, how special guardianship is being used through an analysis of those applying and the children concerned, identifies some of the key challenges, and considers what may need to happen to make special guardianship work successfully for families.

This book is for all social workers, managers and policy makers concerned with special guardianship and making permanent placements for children.
