Special Guardianship, Kinship & Permanence

Our Special Guardianship, Kinship & Permanence Team:

• assess Regulation 24 foster carers (connected persons) and
• provide special guardianship assessments to the court

After a Special Guardianship Order (SGO) has been granted by the court, we have a post SG service where we can give you extra support.

The support we offer includes but is not limited to:

• advice and counselling
• help dealing with other organisations such as schools and healthcare
• accessing therapeutic services
• training and support groups

If you have an queries about SGOs or if you are a special guardianship family living in Sutton and need support, you can contact us by:

• calling us on 020 8770 5000
• sending an email to the special guardianship team

If the child was in the care of a different local authority immediately before the SGO was granted, you should contact them.
