learning and dedication to delivering outstanding social work practice

across the Trust in a range of areas.

Congratulating staff on their achievements Tom Cassidy, Director of

Women and Children’s Services and Executive Director of Social Work at

the Western Trust said: “It is important to recognise both the

professional and personal dedication and commitment that is needed to

complete such awards and is particularly even more significant given

the ongoing challenges and pressures these staff faced in their day to

day work as we emerged from the COVID-19 Pandemic.

“Congratulations to our 23 social work staff who achieved their

Consolidation and Specialist Awards.

"Well done to you all we are very proud of your success!"

Some of the award winners recently attended a ‘Tea and Treat’ with Tom
