Face to Face Havering

Our monthly #fostering information evenings are still going ahead as usual, however due to the #COVID-19 pandemic we will be delivering these sessions virtually. If you would like to book onto our next session visit bit.ly/33FIvvi #StayHomeSaveLives

Let's get behind this message and encourage the LGBT+ community in and around #Havering, as well as nationally to consider #fostering #WhyNotYou

We're getting ready for the launch of Adopt London today at Assembly Halls Islington - 23 London councils coming together to find new homes for children in care & create the best possible process for adoption. @lbbdcouncil @NewhamLondon @wfcouncil

Carrie & David Grant, best known as Fame Academy judges, help kick off today's launch of #AdoptLondon. As parents of an adopted child, they gave an insight to their personal experience & how it's enhanced their family @adoptlondonuk

A heart-shaped cake was cut by @CarrieGrant1 & @DavidGrantSays & staff from the 23 London boroughs that make up @adoptlondonuk

@TimAldridgeDCS @RoisinMadden5 Absolutely. It’s vital you maximise the chance social workers get to support families and having an effective and resilient support function helps a lot to deliver a systemic and restorative model of practice.

#Newhamtogether Neel - what other places have learnt - especially thinking of @FacetoFaceLBH - if you involve business support in the whole journey of systemic and relational practice, they will add so much value - it becomes a self-improving cycle. @RoisinMadden5

@TimAldridgeDCS Collaboration is so important. The London Alliance plays such an important role and we should strive to challenge each other to improve. We look forward to ongoing efforts across East London to look for new and exciting ways of improving outcomes creating more opportunities

Couldn't agree more. The East London LIIA work has brought us closer to our neighbours. I see the support of colleagues as critical in helping us to improve practice, and holding up the mirror to reflect on where we need to improve #Newhamtogether

The role of partners in enabling social work to flourish is key, especially other LAs as we battle so many common themes. How can they support Newham achieve its aims? @TimAldridgeDCS @RoisinMadden5 @BeverleyHALLIG2 #newhamtogether
