„The Department for Education (DfE) said it was „unacceptable“ for private providers to „profit excessively from vulnerable children“ and it was „cracking down on profiteering“.“
So its more council pays for massively overpriced provider for a teen’s placement.
Things like this seem to be such a difficult issue.
It’s clearly too expensive for councils to have their own specialist services, so cheaper to pay that instead.
To be clear, said teen is not getting the money.
Once again a complete lack of sense in procurement decisions in the public sector.
exact same shit that happened with covid and people wonder why tax rises keep happening while getting nothing out of it
This is why having family courts be now open to media scrutiny is so critical.
They likely didn’t have a choice. If the only placement that offers a young person a place charges £17,000 a week then you pay £17,000 a week because they need to have somewhere and no placement isn’t an option.
The news is just story after story after story of absolute insanity. It’s no wonder people are turning towards political extremes.
There needs to a massive review of government expenditure at a micro level. I work in the water industry and the money wasted is astonishing.
The state is the best way to spend your money example 1,235,737,838
> He said: „That cost clearly demonstrates, yet again, that local authorities are at the mercy of the private sector, and I am, time and again presented with cases where a local authority has secured provision that can cost anything between £12,000 and £20,000 per week.
> „That is now a regular feature in this sort of case and the concern is that local authorities just cannot continue to fund places at that astronomical cost.“
This is what happens when councils have their funding cut and have to cut services, and then the private sector are the only ones left running the service.
They have the council by the fiscal balls and can charge whatever they like.
“Every child must have whatever they need and to hell with the cost” says voters
“What do you mean it’s 300k for some little shit head to get round the clock supervision and learn basket weaving” says the same group of voters 10minutes later when councils follow the law and stop the other 99% of funding to make it work.
It’ll be Priory or Cygnet. Both well known for eye watering charges.
> Liverpool Family Court heard the teenager, who had been involved in organised crime and was considered at risk of exploitation, would „benefit enormously“ from the placement.
No money for schools, got to pay for the gangsters.
