Britain's New Labour government claims to support the cause of human rights. At the same time, it claims that we can have no rights without responsibility and that dependency on the state is irresponsible. The book offers a critique of this paradox and discusses the ethical conundrum it implies for the future of social welfare. It explores the extent to which rights to welfare are related to human inter-dependency on the one hand and the ethics of responsibility on the other. Its intention is to kick start a fresh debate about the moral foundations of social policy and welfare reform. The book: explores the concepts of dependency, responsibility and rights and their significance for social citizenship; draws together findings from a range of recent research that has investigated popular, political, welfare provider and welfare user discourses; discusses, in a UK context, the relevance of the recent Human Rights Act for social policy; presents arguments in favour of a human rights based approach to social welfare.

Examines moral issues around parents responsibility for their children and how far the state should involve itself in these matters. Focuses on the role of contemporary social policy in defining and enforcing the responsibilities of parents to their offspring during childhood and of adult offspring to their parents during old age. Questions the extent to which reciprocal liabilities between parents are or should be biologically determined. Argues that, while the function of social policy is to protect the vulnerable, it must also, so far as possible, enable people to think for themselves and to fulfil their familial responsibilities and debts.
