*STATEMENT FROM ACTION AGAINST ASGSF CHANGES* On Wednesday we met with Sarah Johal and colleagues at Adoption England. This meeting was in response to our open letter to Rachel Reeves. To read the full statement: www.facebook.com/permalink.ph... #fundnoworpaylater #ACutTooFar #asgsf #carenotcuts

Annie in the impossible position so many adoptive and kinship parents/carers now find themselves in. Do we have our children assessed and not treated or treated blind? Neither is ethical but it is where we find ourselves. Children will be harmed as a result.

Adopters & Carers are sharing their stories on the devastating impact of the cuts to #ASGSF. Together, we are navigating a period of indecision & insult by Government & their supporters. We fear the future. Here’s Annie. www.facebook.com/reel/1951374... #fundnoworpaylater #ACutTooFar #carenotcuts
