In the wake of the profound changes in policy and practice around
caring over the past ten years, this volume takes a fresh look at
the social and legal status of carers. Demonstrating the scope and
diversity of 'caring', the contributors highlight the positive
aspects of caring and the interdependence of many caring
relationships but also broach the sensitive and complex subject of
`poor' care and the importance of identifying and meeting the needs
of 'hidden carers'. Arguing that policy and practice must take
account of both carers' and users' interests, the contributors
re-evaluate the existing role of carers in developing new ideas in
the planning and delivery of their services. Each of the book's
chapters points to the future and looks at alternative and
innovative ways forward in relation to thinking, policy and
practice. This will make essential reading for social work and
social science academics and students; professionals in the
statutory, voluntary and independent sectors looking after the
interests of carers; health and social care practitioners; nurses
and care agency workers.
