Award winning social work
Celebrating our award-winning social workers
We’re incredibly proud of all of our Adult Social Care teams—driven by passion, purpose, and strong values. Over the past year, eight of our Social Workers and our Enablement Team were nationally recognised for their outstanding work.
These awards are part of the ‘Amazing Social Workers’ campaign, run by the British Association of Social Workers (BASW)—the UK’s largest professional body for social work. The campaign shines a spotlight on the incredible impact social workers have across the country.
The goal? To celebrate the achievements of individuals and teams, and to help more people understand just how vital social work is to our communities.
“The Enablement Team assist community members who often lead isolated lives, lacking support from family or friends. Over the past year, the team has received more than 2,000 referrals. When appropriate, Enablement seeks grants to provide essential items such as household goods, carpets, deep cleaning services, housing and garden maintenance, mobility aids, and assistance with energy and heating costs.
“The praise they receive from various agencies, professionals, and especially the individuals they assist, reflects the outstanding impact of their work. Team members are often described as inspirational and compassionate, embodying a warmth and understanding that Gloucestershire County Council takes great pride in.
“Every conversation I have with colleagues in the Team leaves me impressed by their dedication to empowering individuals in Gloucestershire to live as independently as possible."
Social Worker of the Year
Lauren Warner, a senior social worker in our Adult Social Care Hospital Discharge and Assessment Team was a finalist for ‘Adult Social Worker of the Year’ in the Social Worker of the Year Awards.
These awards recognise those social workers who have made a positive impact through their outstanding work with adults.
“Lauren never stops championing the people and families that she works with whilst recognising them as experts in their own lives. She values each person as an individual, taking time to really get to know their situation so she can work in partnership with them.
She works tirelessly to support her colleagues to develop their skillset and overall social work practice, acting as a role model within her team and as a mentor to both apprentice and student social workers.”
