A SOCIAL worker from Warrington has been selected for a national award for outstanding work.
The scheme, set up by Unison, the UK’s largest union, is designed to celebrate the life-changing achievements of social workers across the country.
Fiona Morris is a specialist social worker who undertakes protector assessments with adults and ‘keep safe’ work with children where there is a sex offender identified within the family.
Award winner Fiona said: “I have always wanted to help people and saving people from neglect and abuse really appealed to me as the best way of doing that.”
In a tough area of work Fiona is described as ‘always cheerful and friendly’.
On her nomination, Fiona’s manager praised her work and self-motivated study, which has made her a skilled specialist in her field.
She has also developed resources to help social workers communicate with children and provided training courses.
