Update regarding the Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund

The Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund (ASGSF) is currently under a spending review period which ends on 31 March 2025 and funding has been guaranteed until then.

This means that the Department of Education will approve applications for funding beginning in the current financial year, extending into the 2025-26 financial year for up to 12 months (where there is funding remaining from the £5000 therapy fair access limit).

However at this time the ASGSF will not be approving any new applications with a service start date of 1 April 2025 onwards. This means that we cannot currently submit applications for funding for therapeutic intervention to begin in the 2025-26 financial year.

We hope to be able to provide a further update once the outcome of the spending review is known.
