Essex County Council

Welcome to the virtual Social Worker of The Year Awards 2021, from all at Essex County Council. As a regular sponsor of the awards we are delighted to be a part of this amazing event.

In Essex, we remain committed and continue to be “Serious About Social Work” and this year we were delighted to sponsor the Mental Health Social Worker of the Year Award. Looking after the mental health of our communities and ourselves is so important yet can be so easily overlooked. The challenges are very real as we continue to feel the impact of the pandemic and the soul searching continues to create a fairer, more just society free from the impact of discrimination.

Opening a dialogue about how we are and how we feel has never felt so vitally important.

So, let’s join together, check in with each other and celebrate our amazing profession and phenomenal Social Work Community!
