Competition & Markets Authority

This is a market study conducted by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) into children's social care provision in the UK.

Some children are also being placed too far away from where they previously lived or in placements that require them to be separated from their siblings.The authors recommend the development of national and regional bodies to support local authorities with getting suitable placements for children in the UK.
