Working to make social pedagogy widely recognised and practised across the UK & Ireland: so we are all treated humanely.

Our Vision
It is SPPA’s vision that social pedagogy training and practice become ingrained across human service professions in the UK and Ireland, so that individuals and communities are treated more humanely.

Our Mission
To enable the adoption of social pedagogy across all human service professionals, and to ensure a future where families and individuals, parents and carers, children and young people, adults and older people, professionals and volunteers are supported and enabled to continue a social pedagogic journey throughout their lives.
