Today's child welfare services operate under a limited supply of
resources which are being stretched by economic cuts and an
increasing number of referrals to children's social care. This book
provides a comprehensive costing approach which examines how finite
resources can be most effectively used to provide support to the
most vulnerable children and their families. Drawing upon the
latest research and data, it outlines a methodology which has been
applied to a range of child welfare services. The methodology
breaks services down into component parts, creating a 'unit cost'
for each type of case and task. This 'bottom-up' approach ensures
that costing is consistent and allows for variations specific to
each type of case and welfare organisation. By looking explicitly
at the links between needs, costs and outcomes, this book gives
social care commissioners and managers an indication of the most
effective and efficient way to allocate and channel resources. As
well as offering these implications for practice, this book will
offer policymakers evidence of the effectiveness of early
intervention and preventative measures. In providing a detailed
assessment of children's needs, costs and outcomes across the full
range of child welfare services and cases, this book will be of
essential use to both social care professionals at the
commissioning level and policymakers who wish to improve the
effectiveness of child welfare services.
