Profiteering and leeching from our Local Authorities and being registered offshore meaning not even tax is ploughed back into our economy thus we the taxpayer are the ones who lose out. That’s not all, if you find yourself at the hands of social services PLO, you’ll be lucky to get legal assistance and if you do the quality is shockingly bad.

The money could be used much more effectively surely. Even me, with little business knowledge, can see that. Where are the UK investors? Why are these services not run as not-for-profit? And why are they allowed to operate as private companies, with less scrutiny?

The Josh McAllister report suggested not only a radical overhaul of children’s services but recommended £2 billion is needed. The proposal is a mere £200m. Which is not enough to change the substandard cycle in the system and implement early help more efficiently.

Vulnerable children are being traded as commodities. It’s disgusting and the people profiteering ought to be ashamed!

Hello inksmith,
With regards to the data, the research looked at referrals received and not children subsequently living with foster carers. The number, type and pattern of referrals sent in any particular region is not dependent on the number of IFAs those referrals are sent to. We estimate that the fostering agencies we interviewed provide care for approximately 50% of the children living with IFA carers and as such have a broad experience of the various systems and processes that different authorities have designed and implemented. Furthermore, we spent time sharing our findings with an even wider group of IFAs, and received confirmation that the issues identified were being widely experienced. We are confident that the patterns and trends shown in the report, along with the common concerns about placement and matching processes, accurately reflect the overall experiences of IFAs.

It’s not a very big sample though – 23 of around 300 IFAs, so less than 10%. There’s also no data on what kinds of agencies or where they are, so we have no idea if it’s a representative sample or not – which means the change could actually be going in a different direction, or be much smaller or much larger.
I know people aren’t that interested in methodology, but your article makes this sound like it was a comprehensive review of the nation, and it’s not.
