This book examines new developments in provisions for people with
learning disabilities. It establishes the current network of
services as a base and reduces aspects of the NHS, Community Care
Act (1990) and Disabled Persons Act (1986) to terminology
accessible to professionals and others engaged in this area.
Building on "Services for the Mentally Handicapped in Britain"
(Malin, Race and Jones, 1980), it includes additional chapters such
as advocacy/empowerment and recreation and leisure. Other parts of
the book consider in more detail concepts engendered in the new
legislation: care-management and assessment, quality and
inspection, and inter-agency planning. The book aims to provide a
broad review of material based on research and local developments
in deinstitutionalization and community care, residential, day
care, voluntary and educational services. It should be of interest
to students and professional staff in psychology, teaching,
medicine, nursing, social work and the voluntary sector concerned
with people with learning disabilities.
Austerity's impacts on the healthcare, social care and education
professions are under the spotlight in this important book. From
scarcer resources to greater stresses, and falling training budgets
to rising risks, it charts how policies and cuts have compromised
workers' ability to undertake their professional roles. It combines
research and practice experience to assess the extent of
de-professionalisation in recent years and how workers have
responded. This book is a vital review of how austerity has
resculpted our notions of professionalism.

This book presents findings from studies evaluating Sure Start
programmes in North-East England. Section I examines the policy
background, evaluation framework and key concepts underpinning the
programme. Section II draws upon findings from the evaluation of
five Sure Start programmes. Section III presents evaluation
findings from a linked national programme, Sure Start Plus,
designed to provide inter-agency, inter-professional support to
pregnant teenagers and young parents. Section IV examines two
propositions: Firstly, that local programmes should deliver better
outcomes for children and families if they are proficient, as
measured by engaging service users, multi agency working,
leadership and ethos; and secondly, that local programmes provide a
foundation for delivering the five outcomes set by the Labour
Government Green Paper Every Child Matters (2003): be healthy, stay
safe, enjoy and achieve, make a positive contribution, and achieve
economic well-being.
