Sommario/riassunto |
|
Provides an accessible overview of the 'transformation' of Children's Services in England. This book argues that the many changes which have taken place within, and beyond, Children's Services are related to the politics of Neoliberalism which, it is maintained, lie at the core of the Change for Children programme. |
