The vast majority of the 100,000 or so children with serious mental or physical disabilities in Britain in 1980s lived at home with their families. A series of in-depth interviews carried out with several parents enabled the author to describe the extensive physical, practical, and emotional demands made on those looking after their disabled child at home. In their own words, parents reported how and when they learnt about their child's disability; the sheer physical work and mental effort of daily care which more often than not fell unremittingly on the child's mother; the feelings of isolation and the lack of information which were often relieved only by talking with parents of other disabled children.First published in 1983, Unshared Care examines the community services, revealing that from the parents' point of view, the rhetoric of public concern was only barely matched by the practical support available. It shows that services were, all too often, insufficiently specialized and lacking in coherence. Professional practices created further barriers to the receipt of help. As a result, parents felt that they and their children received far less help than they needed or deserved.This book will be of special interest to social workers, teachers, and medical and other professionals, as well as to the parents of children with disabilities.

First published in 1986, this study explores the increased public concern with policies of ‘community care’ and their effects on informal carers, at that time. It looks at the widespread evidence that one particular group of informal carers- parents looking after their severely disabled child- lack information, advice and a co-ordinated pattern of supporting services. The author, who carried out research on disabled children and their families for a number of years, describes in detail a low-cost experimental project in which specialist social workers set out to remedy these shortcomings. Drawing on the results of this particular study, the author argues strongly for widespread assignment of ‘key’ social workers to this and other groups of informal carers. Despite being written in the mid-1980s, this book discusses topic that will still be of interest and use today.

Recent social trends and policy developments have called into question the divide between the provision of income support and social care services. This book examines this in light of key trends. The book presents new evidence on the links between cash - whether from earnings from paid work, social security benefits, and payments for disabled people and carers - and social disadvantage, care and disability. It presents theoretical perspectives on the need for and provision of care, which some commentators have described as a ''new social risk'' and offers new insights into traditional forms of risk, such as poverty, disability, access to credit and money management. It provides an analysis of childcare and informal support for sick, disabled or elderly people in the context of increasing female labour market participation and the introduction of cash allowances to pay for care and posits a new look at both disabled people and older people in their roles as active citizens, whose views and experiences should help shape both policy and practice. Cash and care is essential reading for students, lecturers and researchers in social policy, applied social science, social work, and health and social care.

Current policy encourages ''partnerships'' - between statutory organisations and professionals; public and private sectors; with voluntary organisations and local communities. But is this collaborative discourse really as distinctive as the Labour Government claims? How far do contemporary partnerships exemplify an approach to governing which is based on networks (as distinct from hierarchies and markets)? Partnerships, New Labour and the governance of welfare: provides an up-to-date critical analysis of partnerships; addresses the highly topical theme of ''partnerships'' as the means of achieving joined-up government; presents empirical evidence from a wide range of welfare partnerships; examines the relationships between local welfare partnerships and the management of those partnerships by central government; reveals the imbalance of power which characterises many contemporary partnerships. · It is essential reading for academics and students of contemporary social and public policy and for those with an interest in networks and other theories of welfare governance.
