7.—(1) Financial support under this Chapter may include an element of remuneration but only where the decision to include it is taken before the special guardianship order is made and the local authority consider it to be necessary in order to facilitate arrangements for a person to become a special guardian in a case where—
(a)the special guardian or prospective special guardian has been a local authority foster parent in respect of the child; and
(b)an element of remuneration was included in the payments made by the local authority to that person in relation to his fostering the child.
(2) But that element of remuneration ceases to be payable after the expiry of the period of two years from the making of the special guardianship order unless the local authority consider its continuation to be necessary having regard to the exceptional needs of the child or any other exceptional circumstances.
