Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund: Dorset
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of the time taken to approve the adoption and special guardianship support fund for 2025-26 on (a) children and (b) families requiring therapeutic support in Dorset.
Answered by Janet Daby
The department will shortly be finalising business planning decisions on how we will allocate the department’s budget for the next financial year. All decisions regarding the Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund are being made as part of these discussions. An announcement will be made as soon as possible.
Applications for the fund with therapy starting in this financial year are still being accepted and processed under business as usual.
