Abstract

As the 1950s and 1960s progressed; awareness grew of the inadequacy and dysfunction of the case study social care system that had been created. Thus began a thirty year period in which attempts were made to get to grips with the issues. Strategies were created to bring about transformative change. The initiatives came from governments; activists; professional leaders; academics and think tanks. The strategies became ever more wide-ranging; culminating in the community care reforms of the 1990s which have had international significance. However, none worked. The chapter analyses each of the strategies; and why they all failed. None of them acknowledged or addressed the problems created by the 1948 settlement.
