| Activity | Founded in April 1995 as the British Psychological Society Special Group for Psychologists and Social Services as a result of a review and report 'Psychologists and Social Services (1990) which led to a steering committee and then the agreement to set up a special group. With the administrative changes brought about by commissioning and abolishing of the CCETSW [Central Council for Education and Training in Social Work ] it was decided to change the name of the group to the 'Special Group for Psychology and Social Care [SGPASC] in 2010
Aims
