This book explores the impact of neoliberalism on education in the
UK. Drawing on policies across the sector in England as a case
study, the author illuminates and analyses the development of
neoliberal policy on models of practice. The author explores the
theory and philosophy that have come to define neoliberalism, and
offers an explanation as to how this has been applied to the
education sector in England at various different stages. Informed
and scaffolded by years of empirical research in educational
contexts, this book interrogates the impact of neoliberalism on
educational practice. It will be of interest and value to scholars
of neoliberalism and education, as well as practitioners.

Early Childhood Studies: Enhancing Employability and Professional
Practice explores essential aspects of best practice within
children's services in order to enhance employability skills,
identifying how and why key aspects of best practice have emerged
within children's services. The key elements of professional
practice at the centre of the multidisciplinary work in today's
children's services are considered, including: * different
childhoods; * child development; * enhanced learning; *
professional skills; * inclusion; * holistic practice. Each chapter
draws together practical teaching experience with sound academic
analysis to support those training to work in the early childhood
sector, and those already practising, to raise their employability
potential by identifying and evaluating best practice.
Sociology can help students understand why and how so many of the
problems their service users face occur in the first place, helping
them choose effective ways to communicate and make informed
decisions on how their needs can be fully met. This book offers
students a framework to explore how their professional
responsibility to understanding sociology can be realised in every
aspect of their work with a diverse range of service user groups
including children and families, adults, older people, people with
learning disabilities and people suffering from mental distress.
The book takes students step-by-step through the theoretical
grounding, what sociology is, how it is relevant to everyday social
work practice, and what are the key aspects of sociological theory
that need to be understood.

Applying social science subjects such as psychology, sociology,
social policy and research methods to Early Years can help to raise
standards and ensure good practice. These subjects inform much of
the academic curriculum within many Early Years programmes and are
subjects that make an important contribution to understanding
children's behaviour, growth and development. The book identifies,
analyses and assesses how social science enriches Early Years as
opposed to regarding Early Years and social science as distinct.
Each chapter imaginatively introduces the main learning objectives
and includes formative activities, which apply social science to
particular themes to aid students' cognitive skills.
