Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the Children Act 1989 with the contemporaneous developments in the field of community care and considers their likely impact upon social services departments in the 1990s. The contrasting processes of reform are analysed and related to broader changes in social policy. Specific attention is paid to the different roles envisaged for the state in the provision of services for children and families compared with those for elderly people and people with disabilities, and to issues of assessment, budgets, and user choice and participation. The implications of implementing the changes in unified social services departments are addressed.
