exploration of the link between individualized project evaluation
and policy analysis. The conceptual and legislative frameworks
which contextualize family support are explored in full. By drawing
on existing literature and examining the political and legislative
aspects of family support the book aims to provide in one volume

of settings. Finally the book reviews the settings against criteria
for the evaluation and development of projects considered to be
family support.
