Personal and social education: perspective and practice

Abstract

An article which draws on the author’s experience working as a consultant chartered psychologist in Manchester action zone schools. The article seeks, initially, to clarify what is meant by personal and social education. Locating early implementation of such practice in the work of the Manpower Services Commission and “youth training” it develops a three‐stage model viewed from a perspective of organisational analysis. The article proceeds to address current and future practice and suggests a relatively inexpensive action programme for addressing the transition from school at Year 11 and beyond.
