I am so proud of the way our social workers, and all of our children’s services workforce, have risen to the challenge of supporting our vulnerable families during this unusual time.
With the restrictions placed up us, we have been able to learn valuable information, for example many staff have enjoyed the opportunity to work remotely. Colleagues have commented that greater flexibility, balance in their lives, less travel, and the trust and positive support received from managers has been greatly appreciated.
Some staff have taken the opportunity to access more training opportunities, now available virtually, which often fit their lives in a more flexible way. Colleagues have also reported health benefits and greater productivity. However, we remain mindful that this is not the case for everyone, and have made sure that wellbeing, and emotional wellbeing in particular, is always on the agenda.
