Significant developments have occurred since then with a clear policy steer towards public sector commissioning of all children's, including fostering, services from private and voluntary organisations. This article explores, with reference to a recent study, how policy directives from central government have impacted upon the practice of six local authorities and six independent fostering agencies in respect of the commissioning and provision of long-term and permanent fostering placements and related services."

Foster-Care Commissioning in an Age of Austerity : The Experiences and Views of the Independent Provider Sector in One English Region / Clive Sellick in The british journal of social work, 7, vol. 44 (October 2014)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe british journal of social work > 7, vol. 44 (October 2014) . - pp. 1789-1804 Titre : Foster-Care Commissioning in an Age of Austerity : The Experiences and Views of the Independent Provider Sector in One English Region Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Clive Sellick, Auteur Editeur : Oxford University Press Année de publication : 2014 Article en page(s) : pp. 1789-1804 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Cardijn Placement TS Enfants:Enfants -- Protection, assistance, etc.:Placement d'enfants en milieu familial # Rôle parental Résumé : "Considerable knowledge exists about the commissioning of children's fostering and adoption placements from external agencies within a context of shared corporate parenting. However, the impact of governmental change in the UK from May 2010, and particularly that of austerity measures, has yet to be determined. This article explores the experiences of foster-care providers in one English region in the year following the government's first Spending Review. It refers to the findings of earlier foster-care commissioning research and considers these alongside some policy ideas put forward by influential figures sympathetic to the government. It also considers whether the research evidence of commissioning adoption services is reflected in the empirical evidence reported here and if this is prescient for foster-care. The findings of this study shed light on the initial effects of austerity measures on both local authority commissioners and independent fostering providers (IFPs). Whilst collaborative working relationships remain, the study highlights legal and procedural factors which may distort or threaten effective foster-care provision. It concludes that suggested changes to policy and practice, during the current Coalition government's term of office in the UK, are likely to have significant consequences both for local authorities and IFPs."

Opportunities and Risk : Models of Good Practice in Commissioning Foster-Care / Clive Sellick in The british journal of social work, 8, vol. 36 (déc. 2006)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe british journal of social work > 8, vol. 36 (déc. 2006) . - pp. 1345-1359 Titre : Opportunities and Risk : Models of Good Practice in Commissioning Foster-Care Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Clive Sellick, Auteur Editeur : Oxford : Oxford university press - GB - Oxford Année de publication : 2006 Article en page(s) : pp. 1345-1359 Langues : Français (fre) Catégories : Cardijn Enfants # Placement Mots-clés : Placement  Enfant Résumé : "Local authorities in Britain have been purchasing foster placements and related services from independent fostering agencies or providers (IFPs) for many years. These are often made on an unplanned or ‘spot purchased’ basis and many local authorities have incurred significant budgetary overspends or been criticized for poor child-care practice. In parts of the USA and Australia, governments have required public authorities to ‘outsource’ all or most of their foster-care responsibilities to private or voluntary agencies. Where these have been independently evaluated, a number of deficits have been identified. A middle position of local authorities and IFPs entering into service level or contractual agreements has emerged in Britain where each sector attempts to plan and match its respective needs and services and to predict and control costs. This paper explores how some local authority and IFP managers have developed working arrangements with one another in order to achieve this position. At a time when the British government is providing a strong policy steer towards inter-sector commissioning in foster-care, this paper suggests a framework for collaboration."
