Description and Table of Contents
Description
The sheer volume of records in the Public Record Office has, in the past, frequently discouraged their effective use. There is, in fact, a wealth of information contained within departmental records relating to specific areas of policy. This handbook seeks to introduce, primarily to those interested in welfare but also to those with a wider interest in social conditions and social change, the potential of such government papers. Examining the main social services in turn, each chapter covers policy files of central significance, additional records relating to each issue and includes references to files covering particular aspects of those issues.
Table of Contents
- The central direction of welfare
- social security
- housing, town and country planning
- the National Health Service
- education
- other local government services.
