Adoption Support Fund

The Department for Education fully appreciates that families and the sector will have queries about the Adoption Support Fund given the current Coronavirus situation.

On 10 April 2020, the Department announced a temporary scheme to enable RAA and LA adoption teams to access ASF funding to provide ASF eligible families with immediate therapeutic support arising from the Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation.
