The Adoption Support Fund helps to pay for essential therapy services for adoptive families.

The Government have committed to maintaining the Fund until 2020. There is currently a fair access limit of £5000 per adopted child per year for therapeutic support, and a £2,500 limit per child for assessments of therapeutic needs.

All children adopted from care are now eligible for Pupil Premium Plus. The Pupil Premium is paid directly to schools and to help disadvantaged pupils.

Children adopted from care can have ongoing additional needs. Our Adoption Support Passport tells you about the services that we provide.
