answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/02/2020 answer text <p>Improving adoption is a key priority for the government. I wrote to Directors of Children’s Services on 16 January stating that we wanted to see a renewed focus on adoption and permanence by all local authorities. In particular, we wanted to ensure that adoptive families receive ongoing support from the moment that the child is placed with them and throughout their childhood.</p><p> </p><p>Local authorities have an ongoing legal duty to provide support services that meet the needs of local adopted families. My letter asked them to identify where they were doing well, but also at areas where they think they could improve.</p><p> </p><p>Last year, we announced that the Adoption Support Fund would continue with increased funding until 2021.</p><p> </p><p>The Department for Education’s spending after 2021 is subject to a future funding settlement with HM Treasury. We will consider the name, scope, eligibility and delivery requirements of the Adoption Support Fund as part of that.</p><p> </p><p>We are taking action to increase awareness of the Adoption Support Fund amongst eligible special guardianship families. An information leaflet is being developed in partnership with Family Rights Group, Adoption UK and Home for Good. The leaflet will be promoted by relevant charities and will be made available to all local authorities so they can make the information available to the families who they are working with.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Chippenham answering member printed Michelle Donelan grouped question UIN 10403 10404 10405 question first answered 04/02/2020 17:58:17 answering member 4530 label Biography information for Michelle Donelan
