Social Services Are Broken. How We Can Fix Them, Hilary Cottam
When a family falls into crisis and it sometimes happens, thanks to unemployment, drugs, bad relationships and bad luck the social services system is supposed to step in and help them get back on track. As Hilary Cottam shows, in the UK a typical family in crisis can be eligible for services from more than 70 different agencies, but it s unlikely that any one of them can really make a difference. Cottam, a social worker herself, asks us to think about the ways we solve deep and complex social problems.
