Abstracts are not provided in this publication, though the piece starts as follows If I were to ask the EPs I know (and maybe some others) what sort of society we might hope to be contributing to, my current guess is that most responses would include something about a society that is somehow fair and in which people appear, one way or another to be well – something of a social justice agenda I feel. This is something I guess might exercise many psychologists, both academic and applied – see Burton (2013, perhaps particularly p806) on this; here we have some indication of how broadly we may need to think and act.Fairness and wellness (well-being if you like) are slippery concepts in many ways and much effort has been put into trying to define them (Rawls, 1999; Speight & Vera, 2009) .That is not an exercise for here and now, as space will not allow such excursions. However, what I would like to do is to describe a model of wellness and fairness, proposed by Prilleltensky (2014), and suggest we might use it to unpick how educational psychology practice both espoused and as seen in the field does or does not promote children and young people’s well-being.
