Jenny Coles, who was president of the Association of Directors of Children’s Services (ADCS) in 2020/21, has been awarded a CBE for services to children’s social care.
Coles, who is chair of trustees at What Works for Children’s Social Care, retired from her role at Hertfordshire at the end of August last year after more than a decade in the role.
She also acts as a trustee of children’s charity Coram alongside chief executive of Bromley Council Adesola Olumida who has been awarded a CBE for services to children’s welfare.
Coram chief executive Carol Homden congratulated the pair on Twitter, writing: “Congratulations to Coram trustees Jenny Coles, former DCS at Hertfordshire County Council, now chair of What Works For Children’s Social Care, and Ade Adetosoye, chief executive at Bromley Council for their awards of CBE in the New Year Honours in recognition of their services to children. Bravo!”
