Examines the proposal that by exploring at a micro level the control exercised over children it is possible to identify the wider societal mechanisms for maintaining power at a macro level. The focus of the paper is on the provision of respite care for disabled children in settings away from home. Drawing on principles within childhood sociology and referencing recent research within disability studies consideration is given to issues of 'power and control' in relation to disabled children and how that reflects the structure of adult society. Concludes with discussion of the concept of citizenship as a model for change.

This book argues that examples from research, practice and education provide threads of evidence that orient the student and practitioner to selected theoretical concepts. The book seeks to show how social care workers can use particular approaches to be more effective in practice. Examples are taken from research in older people in residential homes, people with learning difficulties and their families, and the Sure Start programme.

Examines the consequences of the social model of disability. From this point of view society is itself at fault, that is a disabling society that is geared to, built for and by, and controlled by non-disabled people. This exclusion of disabled people is created and constructed in every aspect of living including language, thinking, the built environment and power structures and regulations. This model asserts that whether one is disabled or not, one lives within a 'disabling society'.
