The article uses evidence from a research project to discuss how workers have tried to respond to local and central government initiatives. It argues that the work is not made easier by the often contradictory nature of the policies. Equally, workers have to face up to their own contradictions, not least in trying to empower the excluded while they themselves are at times seen as part of a marginalised service.
Other articles in this issue include the stereotyping of adolescent males and a discussion on the importance and values of a peer education approach.
