Adoption: Surrey Heath
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps her Department is taking to ensure that adoptive families caring for multiple children from the same birth family receive (a) tailored and (b) sustained support in Surrey Heath constituency.
Answered by Josh MacAlister
As part of the criteria for the adoption and special guardianship support fund, all children must have an assessment of their individual needs completed within three months of the application submission. This ensures that any support commissioned by the local authority or Regional Adoption Agency is tailored to their circumstances.
Where families adopt multiple children from the same birth family, each child is assessed separately, and each child has their own Fair Access Limit.
