Labour — Lewisham East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 1 April 2025

Debate

Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund

Contribution

There are many families, people or couples who wish to adopt, and I encourage them still to consider including a child in their family and in their life. I will also say, as I have said before, that local authorities have a duty to support adopted children, and no adoptive person or couple should ever not adopt for financial reasons. Obviously, they also undertake an assessment to make sure they are suitable.
