SPPA and St Christopher's Fellowship Parliamentary Reception

The Social Pedagogy Professional Association (SPPA) and St Christopher’s Fellowship would like to invite you to a Parliamentary Reception exploring how to address problems of low levels of wellbeing for children and young people, adults, and the care, education and health workforces.

Find out how social pedagogy as a relationship-based field of practice can address wellbeing.

To demonstrate the real life benefits of social pedagogy, professionals and beneficiaries will be ‘in conversation’ about their experiences. You will hear directly from social workers working with young people. There will be opportunities to ask questions of an expert panel from local authorities, voluntary organisations and research departments. Confirmed speakers include Pat Petrie, Emeritus Professor and Claire Cameron, Social Pedagogy Professor at the Thomas Coram Research Unit at UCL Institute of Education, UCL, Nicola Boyce, Social Pedagogy Trainer at St Christopher's Fellowship, Lyn Romeo, Chief Social Worker for Adults at the Care and Transformation Directorate of the Department of Health and Social Care, Helen Sanderson, Wellbeing Leader at Wellbeing Teams, Sarah Wright, Director of Children and Families at Hackney Council, and Ingrid Abreu Scherer, Civil Society Lead at What Works Centre for Wellbeing. Further speakers to be confirmed.
