The adoption and special guardian support fund (ASGSF) provides funds to local authorities and regional adoption agencies (RAAs) to pay for essential therapeutic services for eligible adoptive, special guardianship order (SGO) and child arrangement order (CAO) families.
The ASGSF will continue to offer support to up to March 2025.
The ASGSF model is based on the existing statutory framework for the assessment of adoption support, SGO or CAO support needs and the provision of support services.
