Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether she has made an assessment of the potential merits of extending support for adopted children up to the age of 25.

When a young person has an education, health and care plan, they are eligible for the adoption and special guardianship support fund up to the age of 25. This is on the basis that these young people are likely to be in the greatest longer-term need. Otherwise, young people are eligible up to the age of 21.
