A true “people person”, Carmel had a rare combination of drive, persistence and empathy, getting the best out of everyone she worked with. She really cared about helping local people, especially the most vulnerable, and was deeply passionate about making the borough a fairer and more equal place.
Carmel was made corporate director, people, in 2019, leading for the council on adult social care, children and young people, employment, skills and culture. She had been director of children’s services since 2016.
As a commissioner on Islington’s independent Fair Futures Commission in 2017-18, Carmel helped transform the pioneering project into a raft of positive changes and actions to improve the futures of children, young people and their families – including the 100 Hours World Of Work, Music Education Islington and 11 By 11 initiatives.
