Social policy is now central to political debate in Britain. What
has been achieved by efforts to improve services and reduce
poverty? What is needed to deliver more effective and popular
services to all and increasing social justice? These are some of
the questions discussed in this collection of essays by a
distinguished panel of leading social policy academics. The papers
cover key issues in contemporary social policy, and particularly
recent changes. The essays in this collection have been specially
written in honour the 70th birthday of Howard Glennerster whose
work is concerned not only with the theoretical, historical and
political foundations of social policies but, crucially, with how
they work in practice. All too often, services delivered at street
level fall far short of planners' dreams and politicians' rhetoric.
The essays examine the history and goals of social policy and the
delivery of social policy focussing on the family and the state,
schools, higher education, healthcare, social care, communities and
housing. Then, redistribution is examined focussing on child
poverty, pension reform and resources for welfare. This is a
collection of importance for those working in and interested in
policy and politics in a wide variety of fields and for students of
social policy, public policy and the public sector.
