From Analysis: Social work - Social pedagogy: fad or the future?
Children & Young People Now 12 December 2007
"The government plans to fund pilot programmes next year that will evaluate the effectiveness of European-style social pedagogy in residential care.
But, as Sarah Cooper discovers, just deciding on a definition of social pedagogy is a job in itself..."
When I heard the term "Social Pedagogy" for the first time today - New Labour's many social policy initiatives tend to turn me off - it was a real Eureka Moment ! The term "Social Pedagogy" seems to encapsulate so much of what, for people like myself, New Labour is all about : endless hectoring on various trite social themes.
The sad truth is, of course, that social workers (of all sorts) are currently in short supply in those places where they are most needed.
