Change and Continuity in Children's Services Roy Parker (Centre for Social Policy)

The collection provides a high-quality, historical reference resource that will inform and capture the interest of social work and social policy students as well as social and legal historians, political scientists and those involved in administration and government, struggling with the issues of the day.

The Therapeutic Care Journal
This is an incisive, scholarly, and elegantly written book, relevant to the future as to the past. I know no one else who could have written it. Ian Sinclair, University of York
