| Annotation | A concern of the Institute of Community Studies (ICS) has been of family life at the heart of society, and the need for government to understand and build on this idea. Wide public debate is needed to explore ways of reviving partnership of family and state. This paper looks at how and why families have been neglected, and at some possible consequences of this. It considers some examples of the sorts of shifts in policy that might help redress this. The context for the paper is the setting up of Grandparents Plus and of the Granny Project, and the premise that grandmothers are at the heart of family life. (RH). |
