About

Department for Education awarded a contract to Alma Economics Limited for the Independent Review of Children's Social Care, which began on 1 March 2021.

The review examines how to ensure children grow up in loving, stable, and safe families and how care can provide the same foundations when that is not possible.

The work involves two elements: calculating the cost of the current system, including the costs of adverse outcomes and the structure of current spending on children in and around the care system, to be completed by September 2021; and estimating and modelling the cost-effectiveness and value for money of the review's recommendations, to be completed by January 2022.

The contract value is £191,000.
