Since the Social Pedagogy pilot projects run by NCERCC in 2007, the interest in Social Pedagogy has grown considerably. Between 2009 – 2011 the DfE is funding a longitudinal study looking at the potential contribution Social Pedagogy can make to residential child care in England. More and more organizations are recruiting Social Pedagogues as well as considering options for training their own workforce in the Social Pedagogic approach.
