title: Schools in the welfare network.
abstract: This paper examines the place of schools within the welfare network for children and young people, and notes potentially disfunctional elements of the social division of welfare. The stratification between welfare professions and the relationship between normal and crisis care is discussed. Three levels of school based welfare systems are identified, working alongside school attached and community based professions, each with its own characteristics. Trends are identified which reflect the development of more effective multi-professional cooperative care.
