There is a carer in one out of every three households in the UK. Yet caring - whether 'informal', voluntary or paid - is seriously undervalued in our society. Why?
The new edition of this bestselling textbook looks at how society affects carers and those they care for. Targeting social inequality in Britain, the authors look in depth at the important issues including sexism, racism, prejudice, stereotyping, powerlessness, marginalization and social exclusion. Each topic is investigated from the point of view of the carer, to give a more complete view of their role in the wider context of society as a whole.
Packed with creative ways of bringing the subject home to the reader such as interactive exercises, visual aids and 'real-life' assignments, the second edition of âSocial Issues for Carersã is jargon-free and user-friendly. It remains a key resource for students of health, social care and social work and is a core text for NVQ competencies for these subjects.
