Contact and corrections

Important

I cannot advise on your individual case. If you need someone to look at your situation, the organisations at the bottom of this page can, and they are independent of me.

Corrections policy

If you think something on this site is wrong, a figure, a legal point, a description of a council's policy, please tell me.

It helps enormously if you can tell me the page, what it says, what it should say, and a source I can check.

Councils

If you work for a council and something I have published about your authority is out of date or inaccurate, please send me the current published policy and I will update or remove the entry. I would rather be corrected than be wrong.

Advice organisations

If you would like to embed the calculator or reuse my guides, please get in touch. I would rather help you keep it current than have an out-of-date copy circulating.

How to reach me

Email patricia@specialguardianshipallowance.uk.

Please do not send me details of your child or your finances. I do not need them, and I would rather not hold them.

Who can help

These organisations give free, independent advice on kinship care and special guardianship. They are not part of your council.
