| Description: | The discipline of social policy is relatively new, at least in comparison with other social sciences. The study of social policy began at the London School of Economics (LSE) in 1950 and was mainly concerned with the training of welfare professionals during a period of expansion in the welfare state. This led to a focus, within the discipline, on the statutory sector – on what the welfare state itself provided. Close links, between the then Labour government and Fabian socialists such as Richard Titmuss (head of the social policy department at the LSE), led to a demand for information to guide the future expansion of the post-war welfare state. The scope of the discipline in these early years was, therefore, strongly influenced by the institutional structures of the welfare state |
