In a statement to Parliament made in response to an urgent question by Munira Wilson, Liberal Democrat MP for Twickenham, children and families minister Janet Daby said that £50 million would be available through the Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund (ASGSF) in 2025/26. This is the same amount as in 2024/25.
In an email sent to adoption campaigners after Daby's announcement, the Department for Education said: "The ASGSF plays an important role in helping families to navigate the challenges of adoption and special guardianship, providing access to services such as therapeutic support, and specialist assessments.
"The government remains committed to supporting these families, who play an essential role in providing stable and loving homes for children in need."
