As a result, greater user involvement in service provision and delivery is a key priority for many western Governments. This book provides the first comprehensive review and analysis of these developments in the UK. Drawing on evidence from a range of sources, including material from the first national study of user-controlled services, this book provides a critical evaluation of the development and organisation of user-controlled services in the UK and identifies the principal forces - economic, political and cultural - that influence and inhibit their further development. It summarises and discusses the policy implications for the future development of services and includes an up-to-date and comprehensive literature and research review. Independent futures is essential reading for academics and students on a range of courses including: health and social care; social work; allied health professions, such as nursing, occupational therapy and speech therapy; social policy; sociology; and psychology. It will also be of interest to practitioners and policy makers who need a reliable overview of current policy and critical analysis of key issues affecting future policy and practice. 606 $aPeople with disabilities$xServices for$zGreat Britain$xManagement 606 $aSelf-help groups$zGreat Britain 606 $aPeople with disabilities$xServices for$xGovernment policy$zGreat Britain 615 0$aPeople with disabilities$xServices for$xManagement. 615 0$aSelf-help groups 615 0$aPeople with disabilities$xServices for$xGovernment policy 676 $a362.40941 700 $aBarnes$b Colin$f1946-$01809485 701 $aMercer$b G$g(Geoffrey)$01809486 712 02$aBritish Association of Social Workers. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910964714803321 996 $aIndependent futures$94360297 997 $aUNINA
