Fond farewell to Fran Leddra
Lyn Romeo takes this opportunity to say a big thank you to Fran Leddra, who comes to the end of her secondment as joint Chief Social Worker (CSW) for Adults.
Shared endeavour, values in common and a passion for practice
Mark Harvey and Fran Leddra are extremely excited to be taking on the role of Chief Social Workers for Adults and to continue the great work Lyn Romeo has led over the last six years.
In this first joint blog since taking up the post, they talk about what social work means to them, the values they share and their aspirations for the profession.
Farewell... for now!
Dedicated readers of this site will know that this will be Chief Social Worker for Adults Lyn Romeo's last blog for the next 12 months. This provides a natural opportunity to reflect on her experiences in the role to date, consider collective achievements, and look ahead to future challenges and possibilities.
All change at the Chief Social Worker for Adults' office
You may have noticed this blog has changed its title and is no longer in my name, Lyn Romeo.
The reasons for this are threefold: firstly to align with the format of other GOV.UK blogs, secondly to emphasise its main focus, but thirdly to signal a temporary but significant change in my personal and professional circumstances.
