About the Book

This unique introductory textbook helps make social policy accessible, relevant and personal to social policy students studying the subject for the first time. Experiencing social policy brings social policy to life. The use of fictional vignettes throughout the book helps the reader reflect on their own personal experiences of policy. The wide scope reflects the diversity of lives in the UK in contemporary society, while the issues of gender, ethnicity, social class, disability, economic migration and ageing are reflected in the case study examples. This essential undergraduate textbook assumes little or no prior knowledge of the topic areas covered and clearly explains key terms and definitions in an historical as well as contemporary focus.

Table of Contents:
What is social policy?; Private lives and public worlds; The history of social policies; Poverty and social security; Work and welfare; Housing and homelessness; Health and health care delivery; Schooling and education; Crime and community; The social policy of later life; Social policy futures.

Review :
"The approach taken for this book, and in particular the focus on the impact, or lack of it, of social policy for users, makes it an innovative and valuable introductory text." Hugh Bochel, University of Lincoln
