“…Respondents also noted that ongoing communication is important for building alliances between public and private agencies . This finding is supported by literature suggesting that cross-sector communicationmay influence when agencies choose to alter service provision (Barton, Folaron, Busch & Hostetter, 2006). Creating a communications plan for internal and external stakeholders may minimize misinformation and reduce staff anxieties related to the introduction of privatization or performance-based contracting (McCullough, 2003).…”

Although social service privatization and performance contracting have increased over recent decades, there is a dearth of information concerning how public and private social service administrators manage performance contracts and develop collaborative relationships that promote desired client outcomes. The Quality Improvement Center on the Privatization of Child Welfare Services (QICPCW) was funded by the federal Children's Bureau to promote knowledge development regarding public/private contracting in child welfare. This article reports on results from interviews with a national sample of public agency administrators by the QICPCW regarding the scope and mechanisms of contracting in the child welfare sector. Results identify key administrative and agency practices that public and private agency administrators used to develop public/private collaborations and sustain effective cross-sector partnerships. Implications for social service administrative practice and research are identified.

The main aim of the study was to explore the association between outsourcing degree and the costs of institutional care in child welfare. There was no essential difference in costs when the municipalities had outsourced either almost none or all of their services. The highest costs were associated with the situation when about a half of services were outsourced. However, the association depended on the sizes of municipalities. Among the big municipalities the highest costs were associated with the situation when about a quarter of services were outsourced.Among the small municipalities the association was similar to the whole data.
