Taschi Talks Ep7 - Social Impact Bonds – the ‘exorbitant $$$ returns’ on Child Welfare

Taschi explores the ‘exorbitant’ rates of return for Social Impact Bonds. She provides an analysis of Social Impact Bonds for child welfare services in NSW and Queensland. Do they constitute good value for money? Who actually pays? Is it really the ‘philanthropist’ or is it actually the taxpayer? Will it create a target driven culture? What might the real impact of that be on already vulnerable families?
