Adoption:
A major consultation is underway by the The Department for Education to rethink how adopted children and those in kinship care are supported, with proposals to improve mental health, resilience, and access to the Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund.
The ideas on the table include eight possible reforms designed to make the system work better for every family. By taking part in the survey and sharing your experience, you can help shape a more responsive and compassionate future.

Fostering:
A new national consultation is seeking views from foster carers, professionals and those with lived experience to help shape the future of fostering in England. It explores proposed changes to how panels are used in assessment and approval, and how allegations against foster carers are handled. Alongside this, the Department for Education has set out a long‑term vision for fostering and launched a call for innovative ideas to strengthen the system. Your insight can directly influence future reforms, so we encourage you to share your experience and help shape a system that works better for every child.
