  • Expenditure Planning in the Personal Social Services: Unit Costs in the 1980s

    Open AccessA C Bebbington, Andrew Bebbington et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social Policy1995References: 10

    During the 1980s, unit cost inflation more than swallowed up all the increased spending on local authority social services, leaving a 10 per cent net reduction in service volumes. This increase can be only partly explained by increased labour prices and increased client needs resulting from the implementation of community care. Explanations in terms of quality and efficiency changes are explored in relation to individual services, and there appea…

  • Volunteers in an HIV social care organization

    A C Bebbington, Andrew Bebbington et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care1994

    This study describes volunteers who were trained at a large HIV social care centre in South London during its first two years of operation. Many shared similar backgrounds to their clients; indeed some service users were also volunteers. Common motivations for volunteering were to learn more about HIV, to give something back to affected communities, and for gaining job-relevant experience. Selection, training and induction procedures were elabora…

  • Equity and Efficiency in the Allocation of the Personal Social Services

    Open AccessA C Bebbington, Andrew Bebbington et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social Policy1983Cited by: 8References: 5

    This paper investigates two issues of equity in the receipt of the home help service, one about territorial justice, the other about sex discrimination. It uses GHS data for 1980. An argument is developed about the efficiency with which services are targeted on persons who by normative criteria would appear to have most need of them. Efficiency is of two types: horizontal efficiency, the proportion of persons judged in need who receive services; …

  • Territorial Need Indicators: A New Approach Part II

    Open AccessA C Bebbington, Andrew Bebbington et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social Policy1980Cited by: 6References: 12

    In Part I of this article a typology of existing need indicators was developed. For the 'meaning' of a need indicator to be clear, the indicator must be theoretically based. More specifically, it should be rooted in theoretical conclusions about the policy of welfare interventions. In Part II, the theory of the need judgement as a cost-benefit decision is used to provide a basis for a need indicator. This method is then explicated with regard to …

  • Territorial Need Indicators: A New Approach Part I

    Open AccessA C Bebbington, Andrew Bebbington et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social Policy1980Cited by: 12References: 30

    Territorial indicators of need, describing variations in the characteristics of areas ranging from wards to standard regions of the United Kingdom, represent a mainstream application of social indicators in this country. The development of these indicators has, for the most part, been based on an intellectual tradition which has paid little attention to theoretical argument.In Part I of this article, a typology of existing need indicators is deve…

  • Scaling indices of disablement

    A C Bebbington, Andrew BebbingtonARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…1977References: 2

    Williams et al. (1976) have suggested the use of Guttman scaling for scoring an index of disability. Two examples confirm the applicability of this method in the context of survey research. One of these examples is of a disablement scale widely employed in local authority social services research. For the purpose of survey assessment of disabled populations, the precise choice of scaling method for scoring disability is often of little consequenc…

  • The Function of Stress in the Establishment of the Dual-Career Family

    A C Bebbington, Andrew BebbingtonARTICLEJournal of Marriage and the Family1973Cited by: 8

    The dual-career family, in which both husband and wife pursue careers while maintaining a family, is an emergent phenomenon identified by Rapoport and Rapoport. In this paper a reexamination of their data has been made, comparing it with similar data from couples in traditional partnerships. Since a most outstanding characteristic of dual-career families is the high degree of stress they experience, the basic question asked is the reason certain …
