The Relational Practice Movement:
Join us in transforming public services through the power of human connection. The Relational Practice Movement is a collective response to the isolation and dehumanization experienced by both staff and users in various sectors, including education, criminal justice, charities, health, and social care. We are committed to replacing financially-driven and disempowering practices with revitalizing and enabling approaches that prioritize genuine relationships and human well-being.
At the heart of our movement is a belief in the transformative potential of interpersonal connections. We recognize that true progress lies in treating individuals with dignity, respect, and compassion. By fostering collaborative partnerships and breaking down hierarchical barriers, we aim to create an environment where the expertise and voices of all stakeholders are valued and equal.
Through a holistic and contextual understanding of people's lives, we strive to provide effective support and interventions. We believe in empowering individuals, nurturing their strengths and aspirations, and enabling them to take an active role in shaping their own lives and the services they receive.
About us
Continuous learning, reflection, and a commitment to ethical principles guide our practices. We advocate for systemic change, advocating for policy reforms, resource allocations, and cultural shifts that align with our values of social justice and the common good.
