My husband, Kieron Hatton, who has died aged 72 of cancer, was a radical social worker, community activist and leading academic in social work and social pedagogy, a discipline that emphasises creativity, inclusion and a holistic approach in social work practice.
After graduating with a degree in social policy and administration at Portsmouth Polytechnic, and qualifying as a social worker at Swansea University, Kieron began work in Port Talbot. In 1979, he joined Cardiff Law Centre, a pioneering model of radical community legal work. He became central to the law centre’s ethos: collectivising individual legal problems into campaigns, standing with marginalised communities and resisting injustice through grassroots organising.
