Question to the Department for Education:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have for reviewing the National Adoption Strategy, which was last updated in July 2021.

Adoption England published a three-year strategy in 2024 that the government supports. This sets out a wide range of work to build on its work to develop adoption services across the country in partnership with those with lived experience. The full publication can be found here: https://adoptionengland.co.uk/sites/default/files/2024-04/Adoption%20England%20Strategy.pdf.

The department has provided funding of £9 million in 2024/25 for Adoption England to help develop national approaches for adoption services.
