By focusing specifically on the experiences of older people, an especially vulnerable group when divisions emerge between health and social care providers, the authors are able to highlight in detail issues and recommendations that are applicable in a wide range of settings.

The Experiences of Older People

The Health and Social Care Divide (Revised 2nd Edition)

The 1996 Community Care (Direct Payments) Act came into force in 1 April 1997, empowering social services departments to make cash payments to some service users in lieu of direct service provision. Social work and direct payments guides readers through the issues at stake in this fundamental area of practice. The book summarises and builds on current knowledge and research about direct payments in the UK and considers developments in other European countries. It identifies good practice in the area and explores the implications of direct payments, both for service users and for social work staff.

Social Work and Direct Payments

This third edition of the leading textbook on personalization in social welfare payment systems in the United Kingdom brings the analysis wholly up to date, taking into account the major changes enacted by the Coalition Government since 2009 and pointing the way to the likely future, when all social welfare payments and support will be delivered directly, via a personal budget. This close examination of the theory and practice will be essential to scholars, policy makers, and practitioners.
