Drummin' up a bit of business

From the BBC:

Taking vulnerable children into care earlier could save on emotional and financial costs, a study suggests. Delays in removing such children from their families are linked with poor mental health and behaviour, say researchers from the Demos think tank.
The report, funded by Barnardo's, says the care system should be de-stigmatised and seen positively.


As I pointed out last time they tried this:

The P&L on page 12 of their 2008 accounts shows income of £119,247,000 for "fees and services" out of total income of £175,190,000. On page 3 they brazenly state that they "... aim to increase the amount of income generated from statutory sources by 4.5% in 2008/9, contributing to the 16% growth target for 2007-10 and increasing the proportion of expenditure funded from statutory sources. "
