Sophie Clarke, Joanne Smith and Scott Darragh (Social Enterprise UK): Rethinking residential care

Send a text

This week Hannah and Matt are not only joined by guests, Sophie Clarke, Managing Director at We Are Juno, Joanne Smith, Interim Head of Commissioning at Liverpool City Council Children and Young People Services, and Scott Darragh, Chief Executive at Social Adventures, but also have a guest host, Shoayb Khalifa, Operational Lead for Placements and Commissioning at Coventry City Council. This episode explores the rising cost of residential care, and the marketisation of the public sector, and how local authorities could approach commissioning differently to keep children and young people in care living in their cities, while ensuring that they live in the best homes, receiving the best care, that sticks with them, surrounding them with love.
