Written Question
Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund
Monday 28th April 2025

Asked by: Olivia Blake (Labour - Sheffield Hallam)

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether she plans to extend the funding for the Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund beyond this spending period.

Answered by Janet Daby - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education)

All funding after March 2026 is subject to the next spending review. This is no different from other grants and contracts. However, we recognise and value the positive impact of the Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund in supporting families and its importance to many. Therefore, we will be discussing further with key stakeholders the best approach to the management of funds in future years. We will announce next steps as soon as possible.
