WM ADCS Regional Awards

Last week, I had the pleasure of attending the annual West Midlands Team Excellence Awards at Bescot Stadium in Walsall, alongside Bev Willett, Kate Griffiths and Natalie Sanders. The event was an opportunity to celebrate and share best practice from across the region, and it showcased the outstanding work being done by the 14 local authorities and Trusts in the region.

This year, I was proud to recognise the Strengthening Families Service - a well established and continually improving group of 7 teams across the Borough. I reflected that over the past few years, leaders have focused on driving progress and consistency in their work with families; teams have grown in skill and confidence, and this is evidenced in our quality assurance, where most work is rated good or better, meaning families are receiving high-quality support that makes a difference.

I was also proud to highlight that when I speak with the teams and attend service meeting, what stands out most is their energy and unity. Seven teams operate with a ‘one service’ approach, challenging themselves and senior leaders, thinking creatively, and showing real tenacity in doing what’s best for families.

Congratulations to everyone for a well-deserved award!

Emma Taylor
Chief Executive
