      Yet another example of why essential and care based services cannot safely be left to the private sector. The profit motive has no place in the caring professions.

      > The researchers also found that just over 90% (48 out of 53) of children’s homes closed by Ofsted in England from 2014 to 2023 were run to make a profit.

      > For-profit providers operated 82% of adult care homes and **79% of children’s homes** during the period examined by the study.

      Pretty big caveat there half way down the article which the rather misleading headline overlooks. If there was no difference at all in quality, you’d still expect 42 out of the 53 to be privately run. So while the rate of closures does seem to be slightly higher for private ones, it’s not nearly as significant as the headline implies.

      I bet that private firms also ran “almost all” of the top rated care homes as well. But again, that would be a rather misleading headline to publish..

      Shocked to find companies that’s main focus is turning a profit and not that people they are meant to be looking after are providing an incredibly shit service in pursuit of that business model.

      But if they look after people properly it will hit profits😭
