Fostering awards 2019

The awards evening event, hosted on Friday 4 October at The Dairy, Waddesdon, recognised the huge commitment from our carers to children in their care. With surprise entertainment, tasty food and an array of well-deserved awards and certificates, the event was a fantastic occasion for carers to take the spotlight.

In addition to certificates awarded to foster carers for long service and training achievements, there were also five awards for special achievements: Best Newcomer, Children’s Social Worker of the Year, Foster Carer of the Year, Willow Award (celebrating the courage and dedication that foster carers bring to their role each day) and the Emergency Award. Nominations for these awards were submitted and the winners were decided by a panel of judges.

This year's awards went to:

Best Newcomer: Sam Hines and Aidan O’Neil

Children’s Social Worker of the Year: Hannah Bradshaw

Foster Carer of the Year: Rachel and Barry Porter

Willow Award: Denise and Michael Wiles

Emergency Award: Rose and Ted Farrar
