Carla Solvason, Geoffrey Elliott and Nicola Stobbs are all based at the University of Worcester. They have always had an interest in more human-centred approaches to education, illustrated by Carla and Geoffrey publishing Ethics in Education in 2023. Just prior to this, Nicola had embedded a Social Pedagogical approach within the BA Early Childhood in Society course that she led, and they established a Social Pedagogy Research Group at the university. This group has grown from strength to strength, and their seminal publication, A human approach to restructuring the education system: why schools in England need Social Pedagogy, published in the International Journal of Social Pedagogy, has been read by thousands of people keen to see educational change.
