We are pleased to share with you information from the Department for Education (DfE) today of the announcement that the ASGSF will continue for the 26/27 financial year and remain managed through the national arrangements.
ASGSF applications can now be made for therapeutic work and assessments which start in 2025 and cross in to 2026, as well as applications for 26/27.
I am pleased to confirm that applications to the ASGSF that run into the next financial year (2026-27) can now be made, as part of a further continuation of the scheme next financial year, of which full details will be set out shortly
Janet Daby, 04.09.2025
There is no further information regarding any decisions or adaptions to the Fair Access Limit and the current Fair Access Limit for the 2025/2026 year is still in place. This continues to mean that the total Fair Access limit for a child is £3000.00, there is no separate fund for assessments and no ability for match funding of additional funds from the DfE.
Adopt South West will continue to share updates and information as this comes from the DfE.
