The Social Learning Agenda is proving effective within schools. However, an exciting development has been exploring the application of the Social Learning Agenda out of schools. As part of ongoing work with colleagues in Canada (Kings University College at Western University, Ontario) we have been exploring this. The Social Learning Agenda thus formed part of a publication (forthcoming) on Article 6 of United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child for the Canadian Bar Association, as part of their drive to create a practical toolkit to inform professionals .
Students too have been exploring how the Social Learning Agenda might have application in settings beyond school. Recent projects have considered its use in:
- children's homes (developing personal care plans)
- for use in family break up (both as part of the legal process and personal arrangements)
- in establishing a place or presence in local authority decision making
- in health care
