Frontline awards 2024 Congratulations to our amazing leader Sue Williams @FamilySafeHerts for her lifetime achievement award.⭐️ @FrontlineSW

@jsnbarn True words. I’ll never forget someone saying to me ‘never make money your master’. We never come into social work to make money do we? However we earn far more than money can ever buy in the pride we feel knowing we can and we do make a difference every day…🩷

Don’t sacrifice your joy and playfulness Don’t sacrifice connections, family and community… For work For ‘validation’ For a job role or salary You’ll lose out on the most precious gifts this life has to offer And might just look back with profound regret ❤️

@CKeeganFiction love, love, love these books. 📚 It feels as if the subtle cultural nuances that weave their way throughout were written just for me.🩷

@FamilySafeHerts @AlasdairCant I wish I could do it all over again…it is a fantastic course…🩷

Heartfelt words from our Programme Director of Family Safeguarding Sue Williams. I am so privileged to work alongside her and learn from the very best.💛

@marksandspencer petrol station on A11 yesterday morning - the young person behind the counter gave me free flowers.💐This random act of kindness affected my whole day for the better. Sometimes we have no idea the lives we touch with our kind thoughts, words & deeds. Thank you.💖

@SiobhanRPatton How lovely Siobhán! Beautiful flowers as well 😍 I've shared your message with the store, I know they'll really appreciate hearing this! - Elsa

@Yas_SW1 I think your thoughts & feelings are valid & normal. I’ve had the same many times over 25 years. It takes empathy, emotional intelligence & the ability to continually reflect & question our decision making for us to succeed in SW, all of which you clearly have.💕 @FamilySafeHerts

These past months has been a lot, the transition from student to NQSW has been a lot. The reality of working in children’s services has really got to me and in all honesty I’m not sure it’s for me. I want to be able to give my all to the families I work with…
