Description

Explore a significant era in British social history with When Social Services are Local: The Normanton Experience. Published by Routledge as part of the National Institute Social Services Library, this text examines the critical shifts in personal social services during the early 1980s. Following the large-scale re-organization of the early 1970s, many social services departments faced criticism for being over-centralized and fragmented. This book looks at the reactive and crisis-oriented nature of those systems and the subsequent attempts to move toward a more coherent model. It details the efforts of field teams to move away from centralized control and toward community-oriented patterns of service delivery. This work provides a historical perspective on the evolution of social work, offering insights into the transition from reactive crisis management to preventive, community-based approaches. It is an essential resource for those studying the development of social service structures and the practical challenges of localizing care within large organizational frameworks.
