Written Question
Children: Social Services
Tuesday 21st May 2024

Asked by: Alistair Strathern (Labour - Mid Bedfordshire)

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, when she plans to announce the eight local authorities selected for the financial allowance pathfinder.

Answered by David Johnston - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education)

The department will launch a Pathfinder programme in 2024 in up to eight local authorities to provide special guardian kinship carers, who care for previously looked after children, with a financial allowance to be paid at the same rate as foster care. This programme will be backed by an investment of £16 million in 2024/25 and the department will explore expanding eligibility to broader cohorts of kinship carers and all local authorities in the future, subject to the findings of our evaluation. Local authority selection will take place this year. The department will also work with an evaluation partner to make sure the programme can provide robust evidence for future rollout. The department will share further information on the Pathfinder in the coming months.
