Each local authority approaches their support offer differently. You can get support from us if your special guardianship order was made in Bristol, depending on where you live now and for how long.
If you still live in Bristol
The support below is available to you until your child turns 18 if your legal order was made in Bristol and you continue to live in Bristol.
If you've moved elsewhere
The support below will only be available to you for 3 years if your order was made in Bristol, but you are now living in another part of the country.
After 3 years the support will be transferred to the local authority where you live.
We will continue to pay the special guardianship allowance, but the support offer will no longer be linked to Bristol.
