First published in 1999, this book is based on social policy
research, taking a particular view of the nature of social policy,
one that focuses on the direct impact of all public policies on the
welfare of citizens and which defines policy as inclusive of all
areas of policy development and implementation. The view of policy
which clients and customers provide is thus a significant dimension
of social policy. The research is one of the few studies which
focuses specifically on carers who are also in the paid work force
and want to remain in paid work and to fulfil their caring
responsibilities. An overriding concern of the research is how
workplaces, government policy and community attitudes can be
changed to foster a better and more supportive environment for
workers who are caring. The research points to the need to change
workplace policies and organisational cultures to confer legitimacy
on the felt obligation and responsibility to care for older
relatives. The responsibility of employers are explored and the
knowledge, competencies and time management skills demonstrated in
unpaid caring work are found to match the 'skill get' generally
required of a modern manager, thereby offering important lessons
for employer and employee alike.
