Awards for council child protection team members
06/07/2023 @ 10:38
Powys County Council employees from near Newtown have been praised for their work protecting children.
The accolades were handed out at the Mid and West Wales Regional Safeguarding Board’s annual awards.
The Long Service/Lifetime Achievement Awards were given to Claire Williams, Practice Learning and Development Officer, and to Andrea Roberts, Independent Reviewing Officer.
Sharon Titley, Commissioning and Project Officer, was highly commended in the Co-production in Safeguarding category. She has been instrumental in establishing a board for young people, aged 11-17 in Powys, who want to have their say on new initiatives in health and social care, and has led on the implementation of a new planning tool which aims to deliver better mental health, wellbeing and support services.
A Special Recognition Award was also presented to the Junior Regional Safeguarding Board, which includes young people from Powys, for its work on a “powerful” animation, which is now used in safeguarding training.
“It’s great to see staff from Social Services getting the recognition they deserve from safeguarding colleagues who are working across Mid and West Wales,” said Cllr Sandra Davies, Powys County Council’s Cabinet Member for Future Generations. “I applaud them for everything they have done and continue to do to protect Powys children from harm.”
Cllr Siân Cox, Cabinet Member for a Caring Powys added: “For most social workers, quietly helping people to live the lives they want to live is the main reward for work that is often exceptionally challenging. I was delighted to watch these dedicated women be recognised and celebrated publicly. We are privileged to count them among our own in Powys Social Services.”
There were also award nominations for Powys County Council’s Emma Wright, Team Manager Care and Support South; Louisa Rawstron, Team Manager Integrated Disability Team South; Tanya Bradbury, Principle Social Worker, Assessment Team North; and Holly Gordon, Senior Manager Safeguarding and Quality Assurance.
