About Us

The Centre for Social Policy was established in 1995 to provide a resource for people who left posts connected to established organisations or who worked independently. It was a facility to be used as fellows wished but it provided them with a link to a multi-disciplinary peer group and enabled them to keep up-to-date with issues. It was an entity within the larger charity, The Warren House Group (WHG) at Dartington, which included the Dartington Service Design Lab.

A final 'traditional' zoom seminar was held on the afternoon of Tuesday 25th April and the morning of Wednesday 26th April 2023.

CSP activities will now reflect the new arrangements for the relationship between CSP and the Dartington Service Design Lab whereby the Centre is incorporated into a new organisation comprising several 'strands'', each with a specific focus relevant to the charity's work. 

 

 

Fellows contributed to these other group activities by, for example, joining project advisory groups, serving on the WHG ethical committee, and offering advice to researchers.  The Centre comprised of over 70 fellows from five countries and represented nine disciplines. The most recent officers were: John Diamond (Chair) and Roger Bullock (Treasurer).

THE FUTURE OF CSP

Plans are afoot to integrate the work of the Centre more closely with that of the Dartington Service Design Lab. Details will be posted as soon as the new organisation is established.
