Minutes:
The Practice Lead for Children and Young People, Jodie Henderson, read a letter from a care experienced young person to their social worker, which provided testament to their special relationship. The ‘thank you’ letter gave a very moving account of how much the social worker meant to the young person, who thanked the social worker for their selflessness, thoughtfulness, patience and empathy. The young person explained how these qualities had helped them to feel safe enough to have hope for the future, to take each day as it comes and had ultimately changed their life for the better. The young person concluded the letter by saying they hoped they had made their social worker proud. The Practice Lead spoke of the positive impact of these words from the young person and how much the social worker valued the sentiments.
