This Social Policy resource bundle within the Families and Households A Level Sociology course explores the complex relationship between government policy and family life. The PDF summary outlines how various social policies—such as welfare reforms, marriage incentives, childcare provision, parental leave, and housing—affect family structures, gender roles, and demographic trends. It covers key sociological perspectives on social policy, including Functionalist, New Right, Feminist, and Marxist views, with contributions from theorists such as Donzelot, Murray, and Land.

The PowerPoint presentation brings the topic to life with clear explanations, historical policy overviews (e.g. Beveridge Report, New Labour reforms, coalition and Conservative-era policies), and critical theory integration. To support essay development, the bundle includes connectives worksheets and skills-building activities, including policy analysis grids, debate prompts, and structured evaluation tasks.

A concise podcast episode can be accessed at: , it explains how states shape family life through direct and indirect policies, using accessible, real-world examples. The question bank features a range of exam-style questions and model answers on topics such as “Evaluate the view that social policy has favoured the nuclear family” or “Assess the impact of state policy on gender equality within families.” An interactive quiz reinforces key concepts, policies, and theoretical viewpoints in a revision-friendly format. Altogether, this bundle prepares students to confidently analyse how political decisions intersect with sociological debates about family life and power.
