Open petition: Mandate that child benefit is paid in full alongside SGO allowance

Created by Saron Sheehan
Closes on

We call on the Government to mandate that local authorities pay special guardianship order allowance in full, no matter if the family is receiving child benefits. SGO carers provide children with stable homes and should be provided with full financial support.
