Adult social care in Britain has been at the centre of much media
and public attention in recent years. Revelations of horrific abuse
in learning disability settings, the collapse of major private care
home providers, abject failures of inspection and regulation, and
uncertainty over how long-term care of older people should be
funded have all given rise to serious public concern. In this short
form book, part of the Critical and Radical Debates in Social Work
series, Iain Ferguson and Michael Lavalette give an historical
overview of adult social care. The roots of the current crisis are
located in the under-valuing of older people and adults with
disabilities and in the marketisation of social care over the past
two decades. The authors critically examine recent developments in
social work with adults, including the personalisation agenda, and
the prospects for adult social care and social work in a context of
seemingly never-ending austerity.
