Ministerial supportNews2010 Awards
"Social workers provide an
invaluable service for vulnerable children and families and have increasingly become the country’s fourth emergency service.

Too often, they have not received the recognition that they deserve,
which is why I support the Social Worker of the Year awards and
hope to see these awards grow in status in the coming years."

Tim Loughton MP
Minister for Children and Families. November 2010

Welcome to our new website for the Social Worker of the Year Awards and thank you for your interest in entering or supporting our awards.

I founded the awards in 2006 to give greater recognition to the achievements of qualified social workers and to celebrate their success.

I am thrilled at the investment by Sanctuary Personnel to help the awards reach their potential.

In 2011, with Sanctuary, BASW – The College of Social Work and Community Care, we are forming the new Social Worker Awards Board. I believe that with this level of support and with the backing of you all in the social work industry we can achieve our goal of gaining the same status and recognition as the annual Teaching Awards.
