"An Introduction to Social Policy" explores essential welfare
topics, themes and issues for students studying social policy or
related disciplines such as sociology, social work, or nursing and
social care.
- Part One examines key concepts including welfare, social
justice, diversity and health and well-being.
- Part Two explores policy issues in relation to key stages of
the lifecourse.
- Part Three takes a comparative perspective, discussing the
international issues and supranational bodies that impact on
British and European social policy today.
The concise chapters define the key terms and outline the
central debates, giving students a fundamental foundation for their
degree. Chapter overviews and summaries guide readers through the
book, and questions for reflection conclude each chapter to test
readers' knowledge.
This book is essential reading for all students of social policy
and the social sciences, as well as those taking joint honours
programmes in social work, sociology, criminology, politics and
social care.
