There’s always so much money to be made running care homes - children’s homes, nursing homes, halfway homes etc.

All these used to be run completely by the government, but they’ve been moved into the private sector supposedly because that’s the only way to make them provide better service at lower cost. This article is about unregulated children’s home providers, but even ones that are fully legit often fail to provide a good standard of care.

The staff at these privatised institutions always seem to be earning absolute rock-bottom wages, so where is all the money going?
