Social Issues for Carers - A Community Care Perspective (Paperback)

This text addresses key issues concerning social care and social work, and discusses the background to some of the daily problems encountered by carers. The authors discuss topics such as race, social class, gender, age and sexual orientation, and look at the way society discriminates against certain individuals. Positive ways of combating the "marginalization" of clients of social care are suggested at both the individual and wider social level.
