The charges have criticized the Government for reducing the amount of financing of families in England can access the payment of children adopted by 40%.
Adoption UK said that the news was “distressing” for families, who had already faced “an agonizing wait” to find out Whiteher The Adoption Support and Special Guardian Fund I would continue.
Last year, each eligible child could access £ 2,500 for a specialized evaluation and £ 5,000 for therapy. But the therapy limit now has a leg reduction to £ 3,000 per year, while separate financing for specialized evaluation has been eliminated.
The government said the measure “would ensure that the fund is a sustainable financial to allow the most vulnerable children to access the objective support.”
In an email to interested parties, seen by the BBC, the Department of Education said that the “difficult decision” occurred when the demand for the fund “continues to grow significantly.”
Almost 20,000 children received support through the scheme last year, compared to around 13,000 in 2019/20.
The future of the fund had been in doubt, until the government confirmed at the last minute that would continue in 2025/26.
In response to an urgent question in the House of Commons on April 1, the day after the Fund expired, the Minister of Children and Families, Janet Daby, said that £ 50 million had assigned the legs for this year.
General financing for the scheme remains the same as last year.
However, Adoption UK said that the cut in the quantity of a child would have “a direct impact on children and young people who have had a very difficult beginning in life.”
The executive director of the beneficial organization, Emily Fith, said the decision was “very myopic at a time when there are more adoptive families in crisis than ever.”
Louisa, not her real name, has used the background to provide therapy for her adopted children and said “changed our lives.”
“Without it, we fear for its future, its ability to work in the world, attend school, be safe for ethers and thematic, and for the stability of our family,” he told the BBC.
Louisa said that her own family and others affected were “anxious, fearful, sad and incredulated by what [the cut] Means for their children. “
During the last two years, its oldest has used the maximum allocation of funds for therapy.
He had already been forced to stop his therapy sessions at the end of January because future financing had not confirmed Bone, leaving the family in “limbo” and “see the decline in front of our eyes.”
Louisa said that this Meean had not been able to attend school full time and feared that she continued backing if she could no longer obtain the same level of support.
He is also worried that after his youngest child has a specialized evaluation, there will be few funds for therapy.
The Liberal Democratic spokeswoman for Education, Children and Families Munira Wilson has written to the Secretary of Education Bridget Phillipson that asks her to reverse the cuts.
Wilson said he was “extremely disappointed” that the government had “slipped” the announcement about Easter holidays.
In his letter, he said that the cuts were causing “immense concern and stress” for families and “cannot be justified.”
The kinship of charity, who represent friends and families involved to raise a child when parents cannot, said the news was an “additional blow”, after the therapy had been interrupted by the delay in renewing the scheme.
The executive director, Dr. Lucy Peake, said that the “confused and poorly considered approach of the government” or promoting the awareness of the scheme, but not supporting this with additional funds “runs the risk of bringing more families to the point of rupture.”
Facts said the announcement would mean more delays for families trying to access therapy, while adoption agencies made adjustments to financing applications.
The fund is available for children and young people adopted up to 21, as well as for those up to 25 years if they have an education, health and care plan.
