Beskrivning
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.

Recensioner i media

"Ray remains one of the most knowledgeable and authoritative voices on social work in England today. In this book he effectively charts the dangerous and increasing influx of privatisation into the sector led by years of missguided political ideology. As the commercial commodification of care and social work continues and the Government seeks to strangle the profession this is a timely book that should act as a stark warning to anyone who mistakenly believes that profit driven services will protect the vulnerable." Emma Lewell-Buck, MP
