Format:Paperback
This text book is a must for all AS Social Policy students and teachers alike. It covers all aspects of the course in a comprehensive and reader friendly way. The chapters clearly relate to the Edexcel specification and include summaries and reviews. The book is up to date and includes references to new labour and to concepts like the Third Way. I am a teacher of social policy and have advised all my students to purchase this book. I feel this book would be very useful for people studying foundation courses in social policy.

Format:Paperback
As a social care student, I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking at social policy for either study or personal interest. It clearly sets out the beginnings of social policy and its development over the past 50years. It also states historical development such as the Poor Laws and the development of health care Acts. It is an easy to read format and includes self assessment which is very useful. This book is suitable for all whether looking at social policy for the first time, or as one with social policy knowledge.

I bought this book for my social work degree, the module I used it for was Social Policy. I found the book informative and very useful. The information is easy to read and well set out. I would recommend this book to future students who may be studying social policy.
