<p>The Centre for Social Impact Bonds and the Mutuals Team work closely with other
government departments to support the development of SIBs and to increase the number,
sustainability and commissioning of public service mutuals. For SIBs, this includes
working with DWP to support disengaged young people through the Youth Engagement Fund
SIB and cooperation with their Work and Health Unit, the DCLG Rough Sleeping Fund
and DfE's work to support care leavers. For mutuals, this includes working closely
with the DfE on their Innovation Programme to include public service mutuals as a
new model of delivering children's services, and with the libraries team in DCMS for
potential mutuals in libraries and cultural services. The number of public service
mutuals has grown from 6 in 2009 to over 100 today.</p>
