On the special guardianship issue that the noble Baroness, Lady Sanderson, raised, we recognise the importance of the adoption and special guardianship support fund. The new criteria still allow children to receive an excellent level of support and ensure that more children can access the available funding. We probably all have individual stories that we can relate to and dwell on, and we should spread the word, tell those stories, make sure that this important area is given the attention it needs and recognise those families that do an extraordinary job looking after the children within their remit.
