Great to join @adoptionuk.bsky.social at the 2025 Barometer launch yesterday. Valuable insights from Josh MacAlister MP who pledged to champion adopted children & families. Challenges still remain but CVAA looks forward to future discussions with the Minister to shape the future of adoption support.

Delays & reductions in support are having devastating consequences for children & families. Govt suggestions that local authorities can/will cover shortfalls in funding are misleading.
There are both moral & economic reasons to review the cuts, and we need action now.
