Abstract

This paper reviews four texts that address connectedness in social relationships. It considers concepts of care and social capital and how these are applied in policy and practice. It argues the importance of understandings deriving from these concepts in developing policies that support well-being, reflect the significance of moral decision making and enable the development of supportive networks.
