Liberal Democrat — West Dorset

Speaking in the House of Commons on 4 September 2025

Debate

Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund

Contribution

I thank my hon. Friend for giving way, and for the passion with which she speaks about this subject. I wanted to raise the case of my constituent, Jean, an adoptive mother who cared for a son who has foetal alcohol spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism and developmental trauma. I wanted to raise her case because, very sadly, Jean has died. Before she died, she had managed to arrange long-term support for her son. She obviously does not know it, but her son will lose that support in a year’s time. My question, on behalf of Jean and others in a similar situation, is this: what happens to her son, and to children in a similar situation, now?
