Focusing on education and welfare policy changes since 2010, this book examines the impact of the Conservative/Liberal Democrat coalition government in the UK. It analyzes the evolution from previous New Labour policies and the challenges in creating a coherent new narrative. The concept of a 'Big Society' is explored as a framework for Coalition policies, revealing how neoliberal influences complicate policy formulation and implementation, ultimately affecting children and young people's experiences in schools and welfare systems.
