Abstract

Given that social justice is now central to Social Care Work it is vital that educators develop critical perspectives, research and educational pedagogies that advance the principles, policies, and practices of social justice in the profession. This presentation outlines a critical perspective on social care that integrates four interrelating social justice principles: redistribution, recognition, representation, and relational justice. It argues that the principle of relational justice should be central to social care work and education. In developing this principle the paper outlines the features of a relational pedagogy for social care education that nurtures four interrelated elements: (i) caring practice; (ii) critical practice; (iii); creative practice , and (iv) emancipatory practice. Relational pedagogy is a value-based approach to social care education that emphasises an ethic of care and social justice practice over a proficiency perspective on practice.
