93. The Children's Homes Scandal

The Rest Is Money

A special episode on the hundreds of millions of pounds of profit disappearing out of our children's homes and into the hands of private investors. With four out of five owned by private companies, and some ultimately owned by private equity firms and sovereign wealth funds, Robert and Steph look at why our cash strapped councils are forking out so much and what needs to be done to make sure our most vulnerable children are not losing out.
