Bøger af Bob Hudson

Adult social care was the first major social policy domain in England to be transferred from the state to the market. There is now a forty-year period to look back at to consider the thinking behind the strategy, the impacts on commissioners and providers of care, on the care workforce and on those who use care and support services. In this book, Bob Hudson meticulously charts these shifts. He challenges the dominant market paradigm, explores alternative models for a post-Covid-19 future and locates the debate within the wider literature on political thinking and policy change.

An introduction to the context in which UK social work is practised, Local Authority Social Services. The book is based on the realities of work in a modern social services department and addresses the major changes that have taken place. It also looks at the prospects for personal social services.
