Abstract
As publication number two in a series of introductory student texts entitled ‘Contemporary Social Policy’, this volume might come as something of a surprise. Set alongside housing, health, education and today's inevitable themes of the mixed economy of welfare and community care, surely the title ‘Understanding Equal Opportunities’ is a cuckoo in the nest? Just what is it that a course on social policy needs to do with the theme of equal opportunities (employment opportunities, not service delivery opportunities) and how does it fit within the intellectual frameworks of the field?
