Janet Daby

Labour — Lewisham East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 1 April 2025

Debate

Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund

Contribution

I thank my hon. Friend for her concern and her lobbying. Many Members and organisations have lobbied me on this matter. I appreciate all of the therapeutic providers up and down our country, especially the one in her constituency. Under the Adoption and Children Act 2002, local authorities have a statutory duty to have support services in place for adopted children. As a Government, we will continue to support local authorities to do that.
