Why are private equity investors buying up fostering agencies & homes in England?

Well, if you think its because they have a better idea of how to support & enhance the well-being of vulnerable your people, you're an incurable optimist.

What the PE firms see is a sector where fee income can be increased easily & money siphoned out of the system to feed investors' 'need' for returns.

Once again we are seeing profiteering on the backs of the vulnerable!
