Many family carers step up when children need them most. No child should struggle because of the amount of support available from their council.","additional_details":"Many special Guardians step in when children cannot live with their parents, often saving the state the cost of care. Yet support is discretionary, so it varies hugely between councils. Some families receive fostering level allowances, others receive almost nothing. No child should be disadvantaged by the lack of support provided by their council. In our view, dedicated Government funding would let councils provide fair, consistent support.","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":11,"closing_date":"2027-04-30","created_at":"2026-10-11T18:02:50.129Z","updated_at":"2026-10-31T12:53:50.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-10-30T13:24:47.800Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-10-11T19:57:10.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"Elaine potter","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"MHCLG","name":"Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ministry-of-housing-communities-local-government"}],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":11}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"Canterbury","ons_code":"E14001151","mp":"Rosie Duffield MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Chichester","ons_code":"E14001166","mp":"Jess Brown-Fuller MP","signature_count":5},{"name":"Croydon West","ons_code":"E14001188","mp":"Sarah Jones MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"East Wiltshire","ons_code":"E14001217","mp":"Danny Kruger MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Luton South and South Bedfordshire","ons_code":"E14001346","mp":"Rachel Hopkins MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Salisbury","ons_code":"E14001460","mp":"Rt Hon John Glen MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Worthing West","ons_code":"E14001599","mp":"Dr Beccy Cooper MP","signature_count":1}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"East of England","ons_code":"G","signature_count":1},{"name":"London","ons_code":"H","signature_count":1},{"name":"South East","ons_code":"J","signature_count":7},{"name":"South West","ons_code":"K","signature_count":2}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
