Child Trust Fund injustice to end under Government plans
2026-11-03 · finance
The Government says it will legislate so that parents and carers can go directly to Child Trust Fund providers to access savings for young adults lacking mental capacity, instead of the Court of Protection process. Officials say this affects an estimated 63,000 to 126,000 young adults, and the details will be set out in secondary legislation after Parliamentary approval.
