Third sector inertia
The voluntary sector is settling for leftovers, says Usman Khan, chair of the social care charity Turning Point, in a Guardian opinion piece.
Fundamental changes in how public services are to be delivered are taking place "without a meaningful contribution from the third sector", he says. "There seems to be very few of the necessary conversations happening between the sector's leadership, the government and the regulators. In fact, while key decisions are being made, the sector is busy arguing over what to call itself, with voluntary, not-for-profit and charity just three of a long list of terms up for debate."
