Leader in Social Pedagogy
About Kemp Consultancy
I'm a Prac-ademic!
With over 30 years’ experience in residential childcare and social pedagogy, I support students, practitioners, managers, leaders and organisations to develop more relational, empowering and humane ways of working. As a UK-qualified social worker (DipSW, 1995) and social pedagogue (MA, 2011), I use social pedagogy as an ethical and practical framework for navigating complexity and creating meaningful change.
My work spans practice, leadership, training, consultancy and education. Since the 1990s, I have established and managed children’s homes, contributed to the strategic development of children’s services, designed and delivered training, published on social pedagogy and children’s care, and worked with organisations across the statutory, voluntary and independent sectors to co-create better support for children, young people and those who work alongside them.
