Details

This report covers findings from a 3 year evaluation of the adoption support fund.

It relates to the second of 3 waves of an online questionnaire completed by adoptive parents and carers of children with a special guardianship order (SGO).

The first follow up survey was completed immediately after a package of ASF funded support ended.

Families were asked a range of questions, including experiences of seeking and getting help through the fund, as well as aspects of their child and family needs at that point in time.
