This important book brings the history of childhood and welfare in Britain through the eyes of children to light. Focusing on the period 1830 to 1980, it demonstrates how the young were integral to the making, interpretation, delivery and impact of welfare services. The chapters consider a wide range of investments in young people's lives, including residential institutions, emigration schemes, hospitals and clinics, schools, social housing and familial care.
