Special Guardians
EDM number 522 in 2015-16, proposed by Ian Mearns on 14/10/2015.
Categorised under the topics of Children and families and Family law.
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.
This motion has been signed by a total of 15 MPs.
