First published in 1949, The English Social Services provides a comprehensive account of the development of personal social services in the United Kingdom from the late eighteenth century to the 1940s. Emphasizing administration and the collaboration between voluntary organizations and public authorities, it explores the evolution of state aid, public supervision of private services, and the shift from income-based exclusivity to needs-based provision. Highlighting the importance of administrative methods and research-driven solutions to social problems, this historical reference is essential reading for scholars and researchers in social service, social work, and sociology.
