Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council

Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council is delighted to be a “Thank You” Sponsor for the Social Worker of the Year Awards event. We would like to congratulate all the fantastic social workers around the country who have been nominated and shortlisted for an award.

Social work is a difficult job but also a very rewarding role. Our priority is to ensure that people are kept safe and our plans, now and going forward, have infection prevention and control as a core factor. We want to ensure that people remain connected to their communities and that we build on the amazing volunteering that has taken place during the pandemic. Our vision is to ensure that people can get the right level and type of support at the right time to help, prevent, reduce or delay the need for ongoing support and maximise their independence.

The social work awards are an excellent way to promote the amazing work that social workers do daily and the support they give to the community. Social workers often do this in an unassuming way, not requesting or expecting any recognition for the work they do so the social work awards are a fantastic way to give recognition to the profession.

Good luck to all social workers who have been nominated.
