イングランドにおける社会的包摂に向けた支援 : ブレア政権の社会的排除対策とボランタリー・セクターの役割

Kamozawa, Saori, Suzuki, Naoko

In the practical implementation of the policies against social exclusion which had been triggered by the ‘New Labour’ government led by Tony Blair since 1997，and especially，in its ultimate case for those who were categorised as ‘homelessness’，it was ‘the Voluntary Sector’ in the case of England that took a major initiative to combat social exclusion in conjunction with the central and local governments. This study therefore intends to clarify the conceptual discourses and practices against social exclusion in Britain by illustrating the way in which the Voluntary Sector is involved in its supportive activities for homelessness especially in terms of contract with the central government. 　Policies to support homelessness had been dramatically restructured from just a housing issue to a combined multiple issue by the emergence of policies against ‘social exclusion’，and some organisations in the Voluntary Sector which were willing to cooperate with the government had taken a significant role in combating the problems by gaining a new fund offered by the government and which enabled it to achieve its prime objectives of reducing the number of homeless. However，since the policy tended to fall in the short-termism and its goals were just confined to the decrease in those who were categorised as ‘homeless’. On the other hand，some organisations in the Voluntary Sector which are independent from government policy，even though they are small-scale compared to the former，have taken a vital role in social inclusion by providing comprehensive services to reintegrate individuals back into the community.
