Settlements, Social Change and Community Action Zusammenfassung

Settlements, Social Change and Community Action: Good Neighbours Ruth Gilchrist

Reflecting the current emphasis in social care, social policy and welfare on the ideas of community and active citizenship, this book draws implications from the history of the settlement movement in Britain and the States which will inform and contextualise contemporary practice and policy.
The contributors to this illuminating book develop the basic settlement concepts of strong communities and links across groups with different kinds of need, and apply them to current policy developments in community responsibility, the role of voluntary work and the future of social care. The issues explored through the history of the settlement movement are not only applicable to practice; they will also reinforce the identity of social care as a profession.

Settlements, Social Change and Community Action Bewertungen

After reading this fine collection of essays one concludes that within the context of their time, settlement work was on balance progressive, committed and enduring... Between these covers a valuable and still living history has been rescued and effectively passed on to us. -- Social Work Education
Today's settlements are very different and their scope can be seen in the various chapters here which include discussion of their work in adult education, the arts, disabled children, legal and money advice, family centres and much more. By 1999, the Birmingham settlement, for example, had an annual budget of nearly 2.5 million with 120 staff and 250 volunteers contributing to 24 projects. In his chapter, Tony Jeffs shows that youth work has long been associated with the settlements; Jeffs explains that the youth work had three features. First, it aimed to give youngsters enjoyable recreation. Second, it did so within buildings which also served other age groups. Third, it was embedded within a movement devoted to publicising the plight of the poor. -- Community Care
A history of the settlement movement in Britain and the United States. -- Roof
