My right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education, announced on 15 October that the Adoption Support Fund (ASF) will continue until 2021. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-government-support-for-adoptive-families.

Funding post 2021 will be subject to the full Spending Review, planned in 2020. This review is expected to set multi-year budgets for all government departments. Funding for the ASF will be considered as part of this process.
