Overview
This text provides a concise, critical introduction to social policy for pre-registration students. Beginning with a description of the policy-making process, the author clearly defines key terms such as acts, ministers, local authorities, agencies and quangos. Using case studies and information on recent policies, she explores the relationship between the needs of particular social groups and the policies affecting them. The book is organized in three parts: Part One investigates social inequalities, such as class, ethnicity, where people live, and how this affects access to services; Part Two focuses on three groups - the elderly, people with disabilities and children and considers how far specific policies relate to their needs; and Part Three examines the role of policy in the NHS, social services and social security and considers some of the difficulties involved in translating policy to practice at local level. Designed specifically for pre-registration nursing courses, this book should help students understand the policies on which health care provision is based.
