Description

The concept of need is a central but controversial element in social policy. While 'needs-led' approaches have become a standard in children's services, theorists continue to debate the actual meaning and value of the term. This edited collection from the Library of Essays in Child Welfare and Development explores these complex debates. This book addresses the challenges of needs assessment at both individual and population levels. It examines why case files vary in quality and why many reports of need analyses remain unused. By questioning how we define and measure children's needs, this text provides essential insights for policy makers and managers looking to influence the design of effective services.
