The continued failure of DfE Ministers to understand the reality of adoption is deeply disheartening, and their statements feel disingenuous. Adoption & Special Guardianship Support Fund remains cut by 40%+ for individual child with budgets inadequate to fund support www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

As adopters, our kids have often got to the point of needing ongoing or intensive periods of therapeutic support long before they join our families. Tone of government engagement betrayal a desire to avoid that reality...

The idea that early intervention will negate the need for later support plays into a narrative of quick fixes for deep trauma, and does little to validate experience of adopters, or challenge a parent blaming culture.
