This revised second edition analyses social policy in Scotland
since devolution in 1999 and reflects the nascent and distinctively
Scottish policy agenda. Along with updated chapters, there are two
new inclusions: a chapter analysing post-devolution Scotland and a
chapter on the likely impacts of Brexit on and within Scotland.
Providing diagrams, tables and a range of activities, the book
maintains an innovative and pedagogic emphasis to introduce
students to a wealth of materials, ideas and practical responses to
the increasingly complex and diverse situations faced by social
workers and other professionals. Part 1 of the book looks at what
social policy is, how and why it is made and highlights the
importance of the relationship between social policy and the law.
Part 2 refers to specific themes of social exclusion, poverty and
(more visible for this revised edition) austerity, considering
their complex and multidimensional forms and discussing the range
of policies currently extant that aim to combat such disadvantage.
Part 3 provides a comprehensive overview of policy for practice,
considering concepts of health inequality, mental health, older
people, disability, children and families, education, substance
use, criminal justice, asylum and immigration and homelessness.
This book will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate
students as well as post-qualified professionals seeking to
understand the complexities of the social policy landscape in
Scotland, and its influence on social work and related forms of
professional practice.
