LaingBuisson’s comprehensive overview into children’s care and special education within the Children’s Services market. 6th edition. Published 07 December 2022.
Is the private sector ready to capitalise on the Children’s Services stability?
The sixth edition of LaingBuisson’s Children’s Services UK Market Report is essential reading for anyone involved in this vital part of the UK’s social care sector, be they a provider, a commissioner, an investor, an advisor or a policy maker. Written and researched by leading industry expert and commentator, Tim Read, this industry standard report provides unique and in-depth insight into all areas of the market, and specifically focuses on children’s care and special education within the Children’s Services market, including foster care, adoption, children’s residential care, leaving care, and special schools and colleges, but also covering safeguarding and other related services.
Focusing on the 2022/23 calendar year, the report offers expert analysis into the £20.56 billion sector. It shows that number of looked after children has continued to grow over the last decade, although 2020/21 saw a marginal volume decline. The impact of background economic conditions and the associated pressure on family situations may suggest that there is likely to be continued volume growth ahead.
The report reflects upon the impact of Covid-19 on the market, which has demonstrated the defensibility of sectors backed by statutory public funding providing essential support to vulnerable people. The attractiveness of the sector has meant that investment activity has bounced back.
