The department does not hold data on the total profits made by children’s social care providers by local authority in the years specified.

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) looked at provider profits as part of their market study of children’s social care in England, Scotland and Wales. The final report was published on 10 March 2022. The department welcomes the report and is carefully considering the CMA’s recommendations.
