dc.descriptionAlthough this is not a book which seeks to provide a discourse analysis, the argument implicit throughout is that those interested in the evolution of social policy, or situated within Children’s Services (maybe as service providers, students and associated academics), might begin to think more deeply and more politically about how the promoters of ‘transformation’ put language to work. More specifically, how do government ministers (and other primary definers) persuade, cajole, and enlist support from a diverse range of professional fields for policies which can be seen interpreted, in a number of ways, as deeply retrogressive? (Boltanski and Chiapello 2005)? What, moreover, is the context for the ‘transformation’ of Children’s Services? Why are particular measures being introduced (or evolving) now rather than at some other time? What is the broader political, economic and social context? What are the core ideas underpinning ‘transformation’? Are there are ‘common-sense’ assumptions which are left unchallenged, not interrogated? Are there positions which are silenced or not heard from? What role is being fulfilled by ‘experts’, particularly academics? How are professional roles being delineated anew?-
