In the first part of the book we saw the very limited role that people on the receiving end of social policy have tended to play in its conceptualisation, formulation and delivery. In this second part we are concerned with a very different approach to social policy, where they are at its centre. At the heart of this can be found people’s desire to speak and act for and organise themselves. If the social policy that we have had has mainly been the result of what some people have laid down for others, then what is offered here is the promise of future social policy that is shaped and owned by the people for whom it is intended. These ideas and proposals do not start from a blank sheet. There are many precedents and early examples. Together they offer a blueprint for changed participatory social policy as well as insights for how to achieve it.
