Description
This collection focuses on child welfare in its specific sense: welfare and social interventions with children and young people undertaken by State bodies or NGO's. The term 'child welfare' is deployed differently in diverse international settings. In the United Kingdom child welfare tends to refer to individualised programmes for children who have experienced problems in their lives. In India, to take a contrasting example, it can also refer to major housing and nutrition programmes. This collection takes an inclusive approach to international perspectives.
The collection is completed by a new general introduction by the editor, individual volume introductions, and a full index.
Titles also available in this series include, Medical Sociology (November 2004, 4 Volumes, GBP495) and the forthcoming collection Health Care Systems (2005, 3 Volumes, c.GBP395).
