This paper is a consultation carried out by the Department of Health on the extension and revision of the statutory guidance for charging for non-residential social services, the ‘Fairer Charging guidance’. The accompanying guidance refers to contributions for personal budgets, which consist solely of adult social care funding. The aim of the new guidance is to provide councils with a system for calculating how much a person should contribute to their personal budget. It has been produced as a companion to the existing Fairer Charging guidance.

Nick Allen provides a detailed examination of the Adoption and Children Act 2002 and related regulations and guidance, writes Anne Burnage. His book also shows how this Act links in to other relevant pieces of legislation, such as The Children Act 1989. Perhaps because of the thematic approach, the author gives the reader descriptions of the history and political background to the legislation which took many years to come to fruition. Adoption's high profile has led to important and complex issues being sometimes oversimplified in the mass media. Readers are presented with an example of how the legislative process works when the subject matter is of high public interest, why there are delays, what influences movement, and why changes are made.
