• W2949018293 abstract "The Social Justice Research Group, University of the West of England, Bristol (UWE) is undertaking a comprehensive programme of work in relation to Children’s Social Care (CSC) service provision, budget management and possibilities for new technologies and innovations. The work is funded by grants from the Economic and Social Research Council and the Nuffield Foundation. Our findings help to answer the questions as follows:1.Is the funding for local authorities’ children’s services sufficient to enable local authorities to fulfil their statutory duties? In short, yes, but not in the current policy framework. There are viable alterations to the framework that will alleviate the perceived crisis in CSC funding. Our research suggests a means to achieve this. 2.What are the financial challenges for local authorities’ in providing non-statutory services? a)The biggest financial challenge is the requirement to ensure that statutory services are delivered on budget, to time, and to an acceptable standard. In this regard non-statutory services are a ‘poor relation’ and may therefore be required to work with precarious and uncertain budgets from year to year.b)The decision to provide a non-statutory service may be multi-factorial and the cost-benefit analysis for each service is likely to be complex. In the current climate of ‘innovation’ there is no shortage of potential services, so the challenge will be to ensure that funded non-statutory services prove they provide return on investment by an objectively robust measure, that they are demonstrably improving lives and not (as an unintended by-product) causing harm.3.How can funding for children’s services be made more sustainable in the short and long term? As noted above in 1. Our research programme is providing answers to this complex question. A full explanation is outside the scope of this report but available on request. In summary, the question of short-term sustainability poses a more challenging question than long-term issues. The removal of services, particularly those provided for profit will ensure a more stable position whilst long-term changes to the policy framework are implemented. In the long-term, if the recommendations from our research are taken up, we will provide a review and re-triaging of how statutory services are delivered. This will release the budget pressure. 4.How can innovative approaches to the design and delivery of children’s services support financial sustainability?We agree with the concept of an ‘innovative approach’ but advise that the use of the term ‘innovation’ in CSC has more than one meaning and operates at numerous points in the primary, secondary, tertiary and quarternary stages of CSC service delivery. Rather than continue to fund increasing numbers of piecemeal individual, profit-making ‘innovations’ we recommend the use of a wholesale innovative redesign of CSC and their budgets with provision of ‘gold standard’, research-backed innovation, together with an ethical charter. Our research provides a suggested new policy framework, with focus on financial and welfare outcome sustainability within the current legislation. We suggest policy and practice re-organisation within the available space and budget, together with provision of the national and local level ‘dashboard’ we are funded to scope in order to monitor critical points in CSC that indicate adverse budget, welfare or legal outcomes." @default.
