Beyond Caring is a searing indictmentof the conditions in social security and unemployment benefit offices across Britain.

Throughout 1984 and 1985 photographer Paul Graham visited the waiting rooms, corridors and cubicles of the Departement of Health and Social Security and the Departement of Employment, to document the squalor, all days queues and inadequate service in this most vital section of the welfare state.

Each photograph, reproduced in full colour, dramatically conveys the misery and sheer human waste endured by the many millions at the poorer end of our society. They build to form a unique document of the surffering and hardship caused under the current welfare benefits system, and give powerfull voice to the argument for its compassionate reform.
