"Inside the Caring Services" provides an insider's view of the structure and organization of the caring services in the UK. The roles, functions and responsibilities of the main statutory bodies, plus those in the voluntary sector and private organizations, are examined in detail.

The accessible style of the first edition has been maintained and a practical emphasis is provided by exercises and role plays drawn from recent practice.

Concepts used in this book; the personal social services; the probation service; other statutory services; the independent sector - the voluntary sector in a mixed economy of care; good practice - client's rights and choices; qualities of an effective carer; strategies for helping; conclusion - current developments in the caring services. Appendices: training for work in the caring services; practical work placements.
