Provision of Newpin Social Impact Bond Program Services to Department for Child Protection by Uniting Communities, Incorporated

About

Department for Child Protection awarded a contract to Uniting Communities, Incorporated for delivery of the Newpin Social Impact Bond program, through which participating parents developed strong parenting skills, re-built relationships with children who had been removed to out-of-home care, and strengthened family functioning and resilience so that children were able to be safely returned to their families.

The program was intended to generate direct savings to government through avoided out-of-home care costs and indirect savings across other government service systems resulting from improved longer-term life outcomes for parents and children.
