Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many children are subject to special guardianship orders.
The number of children who are made the subject of a special guardianship order is published in the Court Statistics Quarterly available at https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/family-court-statistics-quarterly.
Orders may be made for a limited duration or may be discharged subsequently by the court. Information is not held centrally about the number of children currently subject to a special guardianship order.
