The United KingdomâÇÖs Conservative/Liberal Democrat coalition government 2010-15 was responsible forásome of the most radical changes to education policy for decades. Beyond Every Child Matters provides a critical overview of developments in education and social welfare policy in the years following the 2010 general election. It explores the conceptual background of a âÇÖBig SocietyâÇÖ used to frame Coalition policy and shows how the underlying spectre of neoliberalism both creates issues for policy attention and undermines ensuing policy solutions. This book charts those changes which have impacted upon education and schooling in England and Wales and is divided into two parts.áPartáI analyses Conservative philosophical thought and policy discussions that underpin the social, welfare and education policies introduced under the Conservative-led coalition government of 2010-15 and the subsequent Conservative administration since 2015.áPart II looks at these policies in detail and concludes with a discussion of possible alternative policy approaches.Set against a backdrop of unprecedented economic crisis and austerity, Beyond Every Child Matters will be of interest to students of education and welfare policy, academics and researchers.
