Contents

The completion of all great works, and even more the lesser ones, depends upon the labour, help and goodwill of very many more people than the conventional system of formal authorship actually recognizes. The following acknowledge ments can only hint at the depth of my gratitude to those who helped me write this book.

The research described in this book was commissioned by the Department of Health and Social Security, and was jointly funded by the DHSS and the Joseph Rowntree Memorial Trust. Within the DHSS the encouragement of Gerard Bebb helped the project to be established, while Jeremy Metters, Phoebe Hall and the late Jean Browning showed a continuing interest in its progress and outcomes. Lewis Waddilove, then Director of the Joseph Rowntree Memorial Trust, Eleanor Barnes and other staff at the Family Fund gave much encourage ment and practical help.

Crucial to the success of the project were the expertise and commitment of the five resource workers Janet Bower, Lynne Hutchinson, Kathleen Morgan, Alison Robertson and Ruth Truett. Their conscientiousness, determination and enthusiasm for the project never flagged during the long fieldwork period. Derek Spicer, Beryl Davies, Rita Hartigan and Ian Booth of the Yorkshire Divisional Office of Dr Barnardo's gave encouragement to the research team, practical help and support to the resource workers, and hospitality to everyone at the bi-monthly project meetings. Thanks must go as well to the very many people in the local authorities, health services and voluntary organizations whose co operation and support helped to make the resource workers' job pleasant and rewarding.

The evaluation of the project also involved many people. Evelyn Fernando and Jean Morton Williams at Social and Community Planning Research assisted in the design of the interview schedules. The two sets of interviews, before and after the intervention, were carried out by interviewers from SCPR. Clerical assistance with selecting the samples for the study, and with editing and coding the interview schedules, was given by Jill Freeman, Edwina Goodwin, Pamela Horsfield and Lesley Bradshaw.

The help of colleagues in the Social Policy Research Unit has been invaluable. Thanks must go to Jonathan Bradshaw, to Michael Hirst for statistical advice and to Sally Baldwin for reading and commenting on an earlier draft of this book. Very special words of thanks must go to Dot Lawton, who was closely involved in every stage of the research and who, with unfailing patience and good humour, carried out all the computation and statistical analysis of the results. Her contribution has been immense and, quite literally, irreplaceable.

Special thanks must also go to Beverley Searle, Anne Jackson and, in particular, Su Wompra, who made the preparation of the manuscript a far less tedious and nerve-racking business than it could have been. Thanks are also due to Woof Clarke for doing more than his share of child care, and to Amy for tolerating my absence, during this book's preparation.

Above all, very grateful thanks must go to all the families who took part in the project. For some of them it is hoped that their contact with one of the resource workers was some recompense for agreeing to take part in two lengthy interviews; but to all of them I am deeply indebted.

Chapter 1
Community Care, Specialization and Evaluation: Current Issues in Social Services and Social Work

This book has three major themes. First, it is about the provision of care in 'the community' for a group of children who, because of physical or mental disablement, are more than normally dependent on others for physical and social care. Specifically it describes an experiment to try to improve the level, quality and delivery of care to those children and to their parents who look after them from day to day.
