John Pearce comments on the new LGA report on profit making and risk in the children's social care placement market👇🏾

👉A new LGA report found private providers of children’s homes made over £300m in profit last year. 🗣️ @weezegee tells @ObserverUK "Councils are having to divert more and more money away from early help services and into homes for children in care." theguardian.com/society/2023/o…

As per usual, Transform Society partners Teach First, Frontline, Police Now, Unlocked Graduates feature prominantly on Times Top 100 Graduate Employers list. But significantly Martin Birchell, editor of that list, sits on the board of Transform Society🤨 digital.top100graduateemployers.com/view/835259398/

It is with great sadness, that after 81 years of campaigning for the rights of children and young people, Children England has taken the decision to prepare for closure. cypnow.co.uk/news/article/c…

Other countries have recognised this undeniable truth. The best education performers on the international stage have made long-term investments to properly support teachers and a growing army of welfare workers.’ theguardian.com/education/2023…

It’s already happened in adult social care with disastrous consequences. Local authority social services departments look like a golden age by comparison.

This near-50yo council estate oik is permitting himself to feel a touch of pride over the fact his name's on the cover - alongside @robin_23_99's - of what he believes an important contribution to the discourse on current & future children's and families' rights, care & support.

It is the genuine risk of the need for another Care Inquiry, that is of concern. Need to a strengthen oversight and scrutiny. Where are the regular updates reports to the JCC? Where is the commitment to external scrutiny the IJCI recommended and the States accepted.

There is a 'genuine risk' of another Care Inquiry, an advocate has warned in the wake of damning reports about failings in multiple children's homes. Subscribe to our FREE daily newsletter: jerseyeveningpost.com/subscribe-to-o…

“This lack of transparency and collaborative working is very concerning to me in relation to children’s rights to safety, advocacy, participation, standards of care and protection.” To say these are not homes but emergency arrangements misses the point entirely imo.

Listening to Tim Loughton MP talk about the frustration with multi agency safeguarding arrangements, children’s services over last 10 years. Not through lack of attention apparently. No mention of funding.

Thanks to @cypnow for the opportunity to raise my concerns about Early Career Framework for social workers in this article. Here and elsewhere I (& others) have cited plenty of evidence against it, while ive seen nothing but rhetoric from those in favour. cypnow.co.uk/analysis/artic…

I'm disappointed to see the only concrete proposal from Social Work England to address the retention, recruitment and workforce issues facing SWs is yet more research. We have enough research, health checks, longitudinal studies etc. already. Action pls? socialworkengland.org.uk/news/reflectio…

To put in perspective, the £200m announced today in the DfE's response to the #MacAlisterReview is 0.6% of the annual profits reported by Shell today (£32.2bn) More context: Shell are "Gold Partner" of Teach First, where MacAlister trained and partnered while at Frontline.
