Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council

Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council is delighted to sponsor the Team Leader of the Year – Adult Services award, to honour those who work so hard to make a positive difference to others. We congratulate all the incredible social workers across the country who have been nominated for an award.
 
200,000 people call the Borough of Stockton-on-Tees home, and we strive to make it a place where people are healthy, safe, and protected from harm. We engage with individuals, families, carers and communities when developing adult social care support, and recognise the important role social workers play in helping so many people across our Borough. Our dedicated and respected colleagues are committed to protecting our most vulnerable adults, children and young people.
 
The social worker of the year awards are an excellent opportunity to shine a spotlight on the valuable work that social workers do each and every day in what can be an extremely challenging yet rewarding profession.
 
Social workers often go about their role in an unassuming way, not requesting or expecting any recognition for the work they do, so the awards are a fantastic way to give appreciation to the profession.
