Adoptive therapy funding cuts 'cruel' – father

A father has described government cuts to therapy funding for adopted children as "extremely cruel".

Jeremy Wilson, from Somerset, has three adopted children and said if he'd known about the funding, it would have been "so helpful" for their upbringing.

The government announced in April that the adoption and special guardianship support fund would be cut by 40% per child, to £3,000.

The Department for Education said the decisions it had taken "will ensure the fund is financially sustainable to allow more vulnerable children to access targeted support".
