We were similarly asked this weekend if a local authority had awarded a £400m contract to one fostering agency. Again, this has already been answered.

@whatworksCSC @ReesCentre Only 3 interventions assessed for cost effectiveness so far. Can more the evaluations by WWCSC focus on this? Councils we talk with are desperate for evidence on how to address substantial funding gaps so need evidence of what is cost effective.

@IDickson258 @connor_CL98 We have not "selectively accused" anyone, we have merely observed that there are some users of Twitter who do not promote positive debate.

Examples we’ve seen suggest the availability of good quality information about children’s social care is severely lacking. There also seem to be some overtly pernicious individuals spreading negativity. Let us challenge them and create an intelligent and positive culture instead.

@connor_CL98 Caretech reported results for the half year to 31 March 2020 on 18th June. The report shows a segmental split between adults services, children's services and fostering. That might be useful to you too.

@SWConcern We believe it comes from the attached report from the Office of Children's Commissioner. The report explains the methodology used to construct the figures. childrenscommissioner.gov.uk/wp-content/upl…

In 2007 Sinclair and Beecham published "Costs and Outcomes" in Children's Social care. We would be interested to hear if anyone is aware of any more recent reviews of research in this topic area.

Evaluation of the 1st wave of Innov. Prog. projects urged the following waves to improve design, sampling and data collection, including cost/benefit (only 25 of 57 projects did so). A financial crisis looms: let's urge DfE to accept the challenge. assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl…

One of our projects is examining the quality of research used in the Children's Social Care Innovation programme. Sinclair and Beecham recommended useful ways of improving evidence so we will be examining how each IP project was designed, measured and evaluated.
