About this service

Special guardianship provides children wo aren’t able to live with their birth parents a sense of certainty about where and who will be living with. Special guardians often selflessly provide safe and loving homes to children in urgent need of support but it can be difficult at times. Managing birth family contact, supporting children with complex needs and other challenges can be hard to manage.
Our PAC-UK Special Guardianship Support Service is here to support any special guardian with the difficulties they face with a range of special support, information and guidance. Contact our PAC-UK Advice Line or email us to find out more.
