It creates a fertile environment for children and young people, seeing them as active and resourceful people in their own right. It cares for them in a way which helps them develop their own resources, connecting them to society.
Our approach looks to develop social pedagogy as an underpinning framework for the practice of all of our children's service staff.
Social pedagogy is one of the strengths-based approaches for our practice model endorsed by senior management and brought to life by grassroots workers from all professional staff groups, allowing all staff to grow as social pedagogy practitioners.
