Abstract
How do children's service organisations survive and thrive in a contracting environment? This article lists some issues that have to be addressed and strategies that organisations employ to ensure that this takes place. The information in this article was acquired whilst undertaking research into contracting arrangements in children's services in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts in 1992. The research was the subject of an earlier article.
