Given that the Labour Party also adheres to the ideology of privatising profit and nationaliseing the debt when things unravel, there is zero chance of the the “market” being recalibrated so local services are rooted in local communities with local leadership. There is change coming but not because there is a sudden revulsion for debt fuelled profit driven provision. There is little more to rinse out of the commodification of childrens lives so I suspect this is the new dance to allow the hedge funds to move on to markets new on their own terms.

[…] The ‘dysfunctional’ children’s social care market needs an overhaul to tackle high prices, scarce placements and provider debt levels, the competition watchdog has said. Following a year-long review, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) called for national and regional bodies to be set up to help councils find the right placements for children, get better value for taxpayers and reduce out-of-area provision. It said this would strengthen councils’ weak bargainning position relative to providers, a result of competition between authorities for placements and the scarcity of suitable options to meet the unique needs of individual children, often in a hurry.

In reply to Ray Jones. Call it a hunch but I think the govt will go with the CMA on this one or simply do nothing.

Hmmm. As expected and predicted the CMA argues for better commissioning of a commercialised for-profit children’s residential care market which will still see money leaking out of cash-strapped local authorities to distant international venture capitalists with children as money-making commodities. It has been the direction of travel promoted by the government in England which has led the ‘sleep walk’ into this nightmare. Might it not be better to wake up, re-route and re-rebuild local public services within local communities with local leadership? England is so different and out of step with the other Uk countries.

Surprised?
How did we ever think we could leave the care of our most vulnerable children to private equity firms with demanding share holders? When I think of tax payer’s money being siphoned off to feed the demands of the market, rather than going directly to meet the needs of children and families. I feel anger and frustration.
