This book was released on 1994-04-16 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook is aimed at undergraduate and diploma students across a wide range of the social sciences, with particular reference to those preparing for or involved in careers in social and public administration. It provides, in compact form, the story of social provision from medieval times to the present day, systematically examining major themes of: the relief of poverty and social care; healthcare and housing; crime and policing; and education. With the rise of the Welfare State, and its current questioning as the chief focus, the book sets out to analyze how the state has responded to the social problems that have beset it. Consideration is given to comparative elements in Europe, North America and elsewhere, together with specific reference to issues of race, ethnicity and gender. A specially prepared glossary completes what is a review and description of the growth and present disposition of the full range of social and public services in Britain.
Download or read book The Social Worker written by Clement Attlee and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-10 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Principled, pluralistic and humane - rather than utopian or absolute - it is the forgotten script of the twentieth-century Labour Party." John Bew, Citizen Clem Clement Attlee presided over Britain's first socialist government, ushering in radical domestic reforms - from the creation of the National Health Service to the nationalisation of the railways. In 1920, however, Attlee returned from service in the Great War and resumed his pre-war social work in East London, whilst organising the increasingly powerful Labour Party. Attlee was a politician honing his voice and philosophy. Attlee's The Social Worker is a manifestation of an intellectual idea about social work that critiqued the Victorian charitable approach, which focused on individual character rather than the structure of society. The manifesto is a blend of Attlee's socialist politics with its advocacy of increased government involvement. The book also reflects his profound belief in the importance of practical action for helping the disadvantaged. Attlee's ideal social worker is neither the aloof and abstract theorist, nor the complacent and condescending philanthropist, but a multi-faceted individual who can agitate for social reform whilst volunteering one's time and money for those less fortunate. The Social Worker is a powerful call to arms for improving society, written with Attlee's characteristic compassion and thoughtfulness. This classic work is a must read for those interested in socialism, the Labour Party and how societies and individuals can make a difference. Clement Attlee was born in 1883 and served as British Prime Minister 1945 - 1951. He is also the author of As It Happened and Empire into Commonwealth, also published by Sharpe Books. Praise for The Social Worker "The Social Worker is a concise work that proposes solutions, based not on abstract theory but, as the reader grasps from the first pages, on Attlee's own experience." Michael Jago, Clement Attlee: The Inevitable Prime Minister "... a clear statement of the principles which were to underlay the creation of the welfare state by the Attlee government a quarter of a century later." Francis Beckett, Clem Attlee: Labour's Great Reformer

Download or read book In Whose Interest written by Ray Jones and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2018-12-05 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the government continues to open up child protection and social work in England to a commercial market place, what is the social cost of privatising public services? And what effect has the failure of previous privatisations had on their provision? This book, by best-selling author and expert social worker Ray Jones, is the first to tell the story of how crucial social work services, including those for families and children, are now being out-sourced to private companies. Detailing how the failures of previous privatisations have led to the deterioration of services for the public, it shows how this trend threatens the safety and wellbeing of vulnerable children and disabled adults.

Download or read book Social Welfare in Pre industrial England written by Paul A. Fideler and published by Red Globe Press. This book was released on 2006-03-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crossing period boundaries separating late medieval, early modern, and long eighteenth-century England, Paul A. Fideler offers a coherent overview of parish-centered social welfare from its medieval roots, through its institutionalisation in the Elizabethan Poor Law, to its demise in the early years of the Industrial Revolution. The study: - incorporates the latest scholarship - weaves together social, economic, demographic, medical, political, religious and ideological history - offers fresh treatments of the contextual importance of Christian moral theology in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, humanist and protestant thought in the sixteenth century and neo-Stoic benevolence and political arithmetic in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries - explores two competing approaches to social welfare: societas (voluntary, rooted in custom and tradition) and civitas (mandatory, embedded in policy and law) - concludes with a detailed examination of the first histories of social welfare in England undertaken in the late eighteenth century.
