The Conservative-led government – before the chaos of Brexit – of the early and mid 2010s were on a mission to open up public services to the private sector with Mr Cameron wanting ‘market insurgents’ to take on the running and management of children’s social services. The government was assisted by a small network of advisors within and close to the DfE, including the international outsourcing big accountancy firms, and a small cohort of government-appointed ‘commissioners’ who recommended the setting up of children’s trusts with children’s social services to be removed from local authorities. Many were to be awarded honours for their activity. BUT the process of setting up Children’s Trusts was disruptive, distracting, damaging, and delayed action and improvement, was costly in the short and longer-term, and created confused accountability. It was an ideologically motivated mission at the same time that there were big cuts in service funding as a part of the politically-chosen austerity agenda targeting people who were poor and public services. The time is well overdue for a change direction, but be wary of a return to the ‘third way’ of fudging the difference between the public and the private sectors and which opened the commercialisation door.
