Play and Care - Out of School

By Pat Petrie

Services which provide for children's care and recreation outside of school hours are emerging as a new area for research and development, and a new concern for public policy. This book sets out an overview of the field, with illustrations drawn from the author's own research, and includes many examples of equal opportunities in practice. It examines the values and objectives of service providers, the management and funding of services, and the quality of those available. understanding children and their varied social contexts - including the public policy context - and offers examples and analysis which may be useful for service providers and staff.
