Apply For Funding

Therapeutic support can be funded in a number of ways.

Therapeutic support can be funded in a few different ways. The Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund , often called the ASGSF, can help eligible adoptive families, special guardianship families, and some families caring for children under a Child Arrangement Order access therapeutic support. Your local authority or regional adoption agency may be able to apply for this funding on your behalf. Support may also be funded through a school’s Pupil Premium Grant , agreed through a local authority panel, or families can choose to self-fund if they prefer, or if other funding is not available. If you would like more information about funding options, please get in touch with us and we’ll be happy to help.
