I have been a qualified social worker for 11 years and have experience of working as a local authority team manager in the fostering service. I am experienced in completing quality assurance and case audits.
I have extensive experience of completing, managing, and quality assuring assessments of foster carers or Special Guardians.
I have experience of being a panel member as the social work representative and have acted as a panel advisor. I understand what is needed to produce a thorough and evidence-based assessment of foster carers and kinship carers, how to support applicants through the assessment process to prepare them for the caring role as a foster carer or SGO carer.
