Description

Child Welfare: England 1872-1989 is the first comprehensive book examining the history of social policy and child welfare from the 1870s to the present day. This authoritative narrative traces the development of social services for children across more than a century, covering critical topics including infant life protection, child guidance, medical treatment, wartime evacuation, and child poverty. The book provides essential insight into how policy-makers have understood and approached childhood welfare throughout this transformative period. Beyond policy details, it explores the evolving attitudes towards children in society, revealing how they have been simultaneously viewed as victims requiring protection and as potential threats to social stability. This historical account offers readers a nuanced understanding of the ideologies, reforms, and institutional changes that have shaped child welfare in England.
