Dear Katie,
I'd be interested to learn more about implementation of these social
investment bonds and their impacts of people in need of support. It has been
proposed for example by Mission Australia as a source of funding for the
'third sector.'
SIB's do appear to further marketise care and support where the motivation
to assist is of a monetary (involving effectiveness and efficiency) nature
rather than one of social justice, rights or because assisting those in need
is an inherently good thing, including as a vital buttress to a civil
society. Is there much of a published critique of SIB's along those lines,
or opposition on such grounds from disability groups in the UK?
Cheers
Erik Leipoldt

Dear Sue,
Sorry for the belated reply. The Third Sector Research Centre is
undertaking a review of tools and methods used to measure Social Return on
Investment (SROI). Another useful contact might be Karl Wilding, Head of
Research, at the National Council for Voluntary Organisations. I don't
think NCVO has conducted research in this area but he has a good knowledge
of voluntary sector research.
Demonstrating SROI is going to become even more important for voluntary
sector organisations if the Government proceeds with its social investment
bond concept.
Kind regards
Katie
