As #ASGSF is debated in Parliament today, we welcome @educationgovuk’s confirmation that funding will continue into 2026/27. We urge gov’t to work with voluntary & statutory agencies to expand access to the therapeutic support children & families rely on.

Cuts to the Adoption & Special Guardianship Support Fund are having a huge impact on families & the charities who support them. I’m grateful to Jenny at @thepurple_ele for speaking to me, alongside an adoptive mum who told of how vital therapy & ASGSF support is for her girls.

We’ve teamed up with @AdoptionUK, @CVAA_UK, @Coram to write to the Education Secretary @bridgetphillipsonMP calling on her to reconsider the cuts to the Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund (ASGSF) that were announced this week. Read the letter: loom.ly/ZJmq2Ns
Please consider signing this petition about the cuts to therapy funding for adoptive and SGO children and families.

Backlash over 'distressing' cuts to adoption fund - BBC News bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj68…
Really shocked at the government’s decision to reduce the FAL of the ASFSF to 40% per child with no funding for assessments. I understand that they are under pressure to reduce spending, but this is so shortsighted to target our most vulnerable & traumatised children. #adoption
Great news! But yes, let’s invest in longer term work to avoid the rollercoaster. It doesn’t help families.

Absolutely loving these series with Olafur Arnalds on @BBCSounds - beautifully curated episodes of gorgeous music and featuring an artist who plays a track of their own personal ‘safe haven’.
on this bleak Monday in January I thought I’d remind you that all 3 series of Ultimate Calm are available on @BBCSounds 😌
