Infant welfare in inter-war Oxford.
State provision of welfare increased in the 1930s in Great Britain, especially the welfare of mothers and babies. The national picture hid many local nuances and practices concerned with the implementation of policies. Using Oxford and Oxfordshire as a case study, this paper examines the ways in which local authorities chose to interpret national policies and to insist on a mixture of personal responsibility, public philanthropy and professional involvement.
