Our families cannot afford for the government to ignore this letter.
We are proud that evidence from our campaign is referenced in this letter and is being used to make the case for an urgent review of the changes to the ASGSF.
Both our evidence and that of the sector shows just how damaging the impact of the cuts to the ASGSF have been.
We want to collect more evidence, please complete and share our parent/carer survey:

We echo the sectors call for a full and proper consultation, and the call to conduct this consultation before any future reform.
Current options for the future being put forward by the likes of Adoption England have a very weak evidence base and do not recognise the needs of our children nearly enough.
For now let us say this. Our campaign matters, not because of us but because of you. Because you add your voices to it. Because we have all come together to fight these cuts and fight for the needs of our children. It is our collective passion and advocacy skills that make a difference.
We said back on May the 3rd at our protest march that the fight was only just beginning. We know it is tiring, we know you have had to fight so much already but we must keep going. That isn’t fair but it is the reality.
Together we are having an impact. Those organisations writing this letter are listening to our collective voice and they care about what we are saying. That’s huge.
The government can only continue to ignore us for so long. Our campaign will continue to hold the government to account for what they are doing.
Our campaign is all about our collective voice, the power in unity and fighting this together.
We ask that you keep going, with us, if you can. Keep sharing our message, keep sharing the work we are doing. Keep collaborating with us.
It is slow and it is hard but it is meaningful.
For now it’s a big thank you, from us to you for your support. We take the responsibility of this campaign and representing your voices very seriously. It is an honour.
