SPECIAL GUARDIANS

Early day motion 522, tabled 14 October 2015 by Ian Mearns (Labour). Signed by 15 members.

That this House recognises the valuable care undertaken by Special Guardians, including grandparents, appointed as such under Special Guardianship Orders under the Children Act 1989; believes that Special Guardians should be publicly congratulated on the fulfilment of their caring responsibilities, which are often carried out in very difficult personal circumstances; and calls on the Government to commend and highlight the excellent work and care that Special Guardians deliver across the country.
