About
London Councils Limited awarded a contract to the Institute of Public Care at Oxford Brookes University to conduct research on collaborative arrangements for commissioning placements for children in care across London.
The research, valued at AUD 28,950, was commissioned by the Association of London Directors of Children's Services (ALDCS) to inform the second report of a wider review of fostering and residential care commissioning.
The study builds on a previous Oxford Brookes University study published in July 2015 and aims to explore ways to improve the system and practices amid limited resources and increased demand for children's services.
