Just in Kingston (London, not Jamaica) and there is a small group of protesters with placards explaining that social workers take children for profit! The man on the mic says SWs are “opportunists and roam in groups, so keep your kids close”! 👀

Bitterly disappointing to see this soft-touch approach to ending profiteering in care system.
Asking providers to 'voluntarily limit' profits (when cost of a child in care can exceed £1m p/a) assumes a level of trust never earned.
Tougher measures are needed now; gentle negotiations won’t work.

I’m afraid I am pessimistic about the likelihood of the Government’s proposed children’s social care reforms having a meaningful impact.

There is no point in asking private equity backed firms to reduce profits voluntarily, they will rinse as much as they can from the system while they can.
