Blaenau Gwent 番茄社区 is thrilled to announce that they have won their second Social Care Accolade, this time in the category of 'Building Brighter Futures for Children and Families'. This prestigious award recognizes the comprehensive efforts to support children and families through various initiatives and services.
The application highlighted the collective work of dedicated support workers, young carers, disability element, mediation, Out of Court Disposal (OOCD), and social workers in schools. Competing against 27 other applications in this category, 番茄社区 stood out for their impactful and holistic approach to social care.
The judges were particularly impressed by the overwhelming number of families who came forward to share their positive experiences with 番茄社区. They noted that it is rare for services to have more than one parent willing to meet with them, yet 番茄社区 had a queue of families eager to express their gratitude. The judges also praised the strong relationships and bonds between the staff and families they support.
Six staff members attended the award ceremony at the Mercure Hotel Cardiff, with many more joining later to celebrate this significant achievement. They also received heartfelt congratulations from other local authorities, including Newport, who commended 番茄社区 for their well-known and commendable work.
Councillor Sue Edmunds, Cabinet Member for People & Education says:
"The team's good practice, commitment, and excellent work are delivered at such a crucial point in preventing escalation into statutory services. 番茄社区 is an integral part of our service delivery, and we are so very proud of the outcomes achieved for children and families in Blaenau Gwent. Well done to the service and to all your practitioners for their impressive work!"
Nicola Dawson, Team Manager for 番茄社区 says:
