“Profiteering from children's social care is nothing short of obscene. Decades of outsourcing mean essential services funded by taxpayers are being treated as a goldmine by investors. They're using the welfare of vulnerable children to line their pockets. Children's social care needs fundamental change, and it needs it soon.”

“Vulnerable people and those with complex needs won't get the help they deserve unless ministers focus on recruitment and retention. That means dropping plans to push migrant care workers out of the UK.”
