Edward Morello

Liberal Democrat — West Dorset

Speaking in the House of Commons on 20 May 2025

Debate

Adoption and Kinship Placements

Contribution

I thank the hon. Lady for securing this important debate, and I agree 100% with the point that she is making. Two constituents in West Dorset support two children with multiple needs—overlapping autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and significant trauma of the kind she mentioned. The funding for a one-off assessment remains, but the ongoing funding to support those children no longer exists, and that is a fundamental problem.
