This is Volume XII of a series of eighteen on Public Policy, Welfare and Social Work. Originally published in 1968. The title Social Services in British Industry might seem a contradiction in terms. Industry is concerned with productive processes and the provision and exchange of goods and services which mankind has developed to meet his economic needs. The social services are mostly provided where the individual has been unable, for one reason or another, to realise his full potential, or even achieve sufficient development to make a reasonable life possible. We think of industry in terms of organisation-involving capital, labour, raw materials and finished products. The social services, on the other hand, are thought of in terms of poverty, ill-health, degradation and squalor. Thus the concepts would appear poles apart- different worlds. This book looks at this relationship further.
