Minutes:
Councillors Val Gibson and Sandra Samuels presented the Principal Social Worker Annual Report that promoted and improved the quality of social work practice and outlined priority areas of work to be undertaken in 2017-2018. The decision to appoint one Principal Social Worker for Adult’s and Children’s Services was informed by a commitment to promote and embed a whole family approach in Wolverhampton. A key function of the PSW role was to promote a “think whole family approach” that would enable better working together across services, inspire greater aspirations for children, families and adult’s with additional needs as well as ensuring the concept of wellbeing features in all of the work undertaken by Social Care.
Resolved:
That the main priorities for the Principal Social Worker identified for 2017-18 be endorsed.
