A Single Door : Social Work with the Families of Disabled Children Paperback / softback
by Caroline Glendinning
Part of the Routledge Library Editions: Children and Disability series
Paperback / softback
Description
First published in 1986, this study explores the increased public concern with policies of ‘community care’ and their effects on informal carers, at that time.
It looks at the widespread evidence that one particular group of informal carers- parents looking after their severely disabled child- lack information, advice and a co-ordinated pattern of supporting services.
The author, who carried out research on disabled children and their families for a number of years, describes in detail a low-cost experimental project in which specialist social workers set out to remedy these shortcomings.
Drawing on the results of this particular study, the author argues strongly for widespread assignment of ‘key’ social workers to this and other groups of informal carers.
Despite being written in the mid-1980s, this book discusses topic that will still be of interest and use today.
