社会投资:你需要知道的

Share:

警察局长即将离任,成为社会投资局局长。财政部长尼古拉·威利斯对该机构有浓厚的兴趣,该机构旨在帮助社会中的弱势群体。政府最初为该机构提供资金,但该基金的方法和规模尚不清楚。

社会投资局利用数据和证据寻找更好的方式来支持有需要的人,与当地组织合作,而不仅仅是政府。威利斯认为这种方法是常识,他说:“预防胜于治疗。”目标是通过教育和卫生支持等早期干预措施来帮助弱势群体,而不是以后依赖政府援助。

这种社会投资理念最初是由前总理比尔·英吉利提倡的。他重点关注统计数据,这些统计数据表明,早期干预可以改善处境危险儿童的预后,降低未来的政府成本。例如,来自困境家庭的孩子往往更有可能在学校挣扎、依赖福利或最终入狱。

威利斯强调,社会投资不仅要花更多的钱,还要更有效地使用现有资金来取得更好的结果。她的目标是设立一个基金来测试新方法和改善社会服务。该基金明年起步金额不大,但可能会随着时间的推移而增长。

威利斯还计划成立一个新的咨询小组,即社会投资委员会,负责提供反馈和建议,但不制定政策。该委员会将有六至八名成员,根据政府的指导方针支付报酬。

政府还意识到需要负责任地使用数据,旨在保持公众的信任,同时利用数据帮助有需要的人。

现任警察局长安德鲁·科斯特将很快接管社会投资局。他认为这个新角色是对社区产生积极影响的机会,在问题升级为更大的问题之前解决问题。尽管他过去与一些政客的关系充满挑战,但现任政府对他的工作表示赞赏。

总体而言,新机构旨在通过有针对性的社会投资来改善生活,使社区和纳税人受益。
