A case study from Sweden about why allowing Boston Consulting Group anywhere near the reform of our health and social care systems is unwise and possiblybreckless (if its role in test and trace/Operation Moonshot hasn't already told us that)... 1/

(Two outcomes diametrically opposite those promised as a result of BCG's much-touted 'blueprint' for children's social care, shepherded by BCG's UK think tank the Centre for Public Impact and the English children's social work training scheme it founded, Frontline.)
