These unconscionable cuts to a vital lifeline fund for some of the most vulnerable children & young adults in England are staggering - a 60% reduction from £7.5K to just £3K per child and even worse - these changes were introduced without consultation, warning and no evidence base

@bphillipsonmp.bsky.social You want to be Deputy Leader of Labour but under your stewardship of the DfE you have cut a vital lifeline fund - the Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund - for some of the most vulnerable children and young people in England. We have a question...

Our survey results were raised with the Minister for Children and Families in Parliament directly by Clive Jones. When will this government start seeing our children? When will they recognise their needs? When will they look to truly address those needs to the right level and at the right time?

The stark reality of the cuts to the ASGSF from: Key Finding 2 There has been an increase in school exclusions and a decrease in school engagement and attendance as a result of the cuts to the ASGSF…1/2

Of the 777 children and young adults represented in our survey, only 10 were felt by their parents or carers to have had their therapeutic needs met. 10.

🚨Almost 300,000 views in 48 hours. Public outrage is growing as more become aware of the staggering nature of these despicable cuts - a 60% reduction from £7.5K to just £3K per child for some of most vulnerable children & young adults in England Cc @joshmacalistermp.bsky.social
