This morning, we celebrated our Children's Services colleagues at our Great Practice Breakfast, recognising those who put children and young people at the heart of everything they do, every day.
Our Great Practice colleagues were nominated for the difference they've made to local children, young people and families. We are incredibly proud of how our nominees embody our Heart of Support Practice Approach and our 5 Cs: Conversation, Curiosity, Collaboration, Courage and Compassion.
Here are just a few of the nominations:
🩷 Jacki, Children with Disabilities Intervention Worker was nominated for our Courage award: "Jacki has courage in advocating for her children, parents, and keeping the children at the heart of her practice."
🧡 Nat, Senior Practitioner was nominated for our Collaboration award: "Nat's relational approach enabled social care involvement to end successfully within a relatively short period."
💛 Leanne, Social Worker was nominated for our Curiosity award: "Leanne's curiosity, persistence and willingness to act on her concerns led to potentially saving a life."
💚 Rosie, Family Help Lead Practitioner was nominated for our Conversation award: "Rosie has made a significant impact in her first four months with the service, settling into the team seamlessly. She consistently builds positive, trusting relationships with young people."
🩵 Jenny, Education Welfare Officer was nominated for our Compassion award: "Through her child-centred approach, strong partnership working and commitment to ensuring the child's voice was heard, she successfully supported continued education and transition to a new school."
We're privileged to have them be a part of Team Tameside, thank you for everything you do!
