DITCH THE LABEL HEAD OF OPERATIONS 

I am a disability social worker and I worked with Abbie on a complex case for around a year. The young person struggled with identity and past trauma.

I am a disability social worker and I worked with Abbie on a complex case for around a year. The young person struggled with identity and past trauma. The complexity of the case started when the young person transitioned into the teenage years, resulting in challenging behaviour at home and refusal to fo into school at all. The young person had the added level of having a diagnosis and suspected ADHD and there was a lot to unpick with the young person. 

Abbie went above and beyond with this family and made herself available. Abbie also was central to making sure that all of the services that were involved in the children’s lives communicated to the best of their ability. Abbie has a wide knowledge set which she used and utilised to advocate for the family and also upskill the professionals working alongside which included social care and education staff. The family went into crisis during Abbies involvement which led them becoming homeless. Abbie was a fundamental part of them being placed in a safe setting and advocating that they get the support that they need by the local council. 

Abbie had good communication skills both verbally and non-verbally through working with the family. Abbie adapted her approach to the young person and the parents which worked well. Abbie was not afraid to challenge when she did not feel that something was wrong and made sure that she was child centred throughout her work with the family. 

The improvement that the family and the young person went through with Abbies support is noticeable which meant they could be closed to social care and no longer require high level of support daily.

I would recommend any professional to work with Abbie, If you want a professional that is hard working, professional, skilled and child centred then Abbie is the one you need. I honestly can not fault her ability to make anyone feel at ease and to think outside of the box. Abbie is a hard worker and I would recommend anyone working with her.

Abbie,

Its always hard to lose somebody, However it' even harder to lose somebody when you know that you can but might not see them again. I know you aren't going to die anytime soon, but tomorrow is no promise. 

We will cry for you however as long as you keep smiling and your heart continues to beat for us our hope will forever shine for you. 

I know it's not forever, but it will feel like a lifetime. Your smile won't be there to guide me and your words of wisdom won't be there to save me. I could say much more, and this won't sum up the pang in my heart. But it does tell you, you won't be forgotten.

" The process was simple really easy to refer yourself to the service. The experience was daunting for myself feeling the pressure to ask for help, but the staff were really not judgemental, helpful & kind. 

The children love their presents & seem to engage with them for hours of fun & madness. there was a lot of time gone into choosing the child's presents what they'd love.  Lovely service & a great support. Time & effort had gone into this choosing the right gifts & getting to know the child with out knowing the child, lovely people. So kind & very thoughtful & good at keeping people updated.
