Revelations of horrific abuse in learning disability settings, the collapse of major private care home providers, abject failures of inspection and regulation, and uncertainty over how long-term care of older people should be funded have all given rise to serious public concern. In this short form book, part of the Critical and Radical Debates in Social Work series, Iain Ferguson and Michael Lavalette give an historical overview of adult social care. The roots of the current crisis are located in the under-valuing of older people and adults with disabilities and in the marketisation of social care over the past two decades. The authors critically examine recent developments in social work with adults, including the personalisation agenda, and the prospects for adult social care and social work in a context of seemingly never-ending austerity.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 198mmItem Length: 129mmContributor: Iain Ferguson (Edited by), Michael Lavalette (Edited by)Genre: Society & CultureBook Series: Critical and Radical Debates in Social WorkTopic: Social SciencesAuthor: Iain FergusonRelease Year: 2014 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
