Brilliant news 👏

For too long, up to 120,000 disabled people have been unable to access money that is legally theirs.

Today, @LucyRigby and I can announce changes to the Child Trust Fund regime which will correct this injustice, making these funds accessible for parents and guardians of those that lack capacity.

It has been a tortuous process for the campaigners, who have fought hard (met 15 different justice ministers over 6 years!!) and were often met with a wall of 'computer says no'.

Through the hard work of Lucy, @sarahsackman and many others, we have been able to overcome this inertia, and make real progress to offer that bit of help to thousands of families.

But this was a team, and cross-party, effort. Big credit must go to @sarahsmithlab @EdwardJDavey @JohnMilneLD, Baroness Levitt and Baroness Kramer, and many, many others for pursuing this cause for so long.

And, of course, Lord David Blunkett who emailed me about this cause on the first day I received the brief back in the summer, with characteristic determination.

There is more work to do to ensure everyone gets what they deserve, but very pleased to have been part of this important step.
