Inside the Caring Services

by David Tossell, Richard Webb

Widely recognised as a standard text for both students and practising professionals alike, Inside the Caring Services provides an 'insiders view' of the structure and organisation 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 organisations, are examined in detail.The second edition has been radically rewritten in response to new legislation and developments with NVQ. The attractive, accessible style of the first edition has been maintained and a practical emphasis is provided by exercises and role plays drawn from recent practice.
