Families First Awards

On 25 April we held our first Families First Awards to celebrate and recognise all of the excellent early help work that has taken place across the partnerships.

The awards also corresponded with the two-year anniversary since the launch of the local multi-agency Families First Triage Panels.

Over 120 partners attended, including schools, voluntary and community services, district councils, family centre services,  police, local school partnerships and many others who enjoyed an afternoon tea and celebration at the Watersmeet Theatre in the Three Rivers District.

There were nominations made from across the partnerships and with so many great nominations, it proved a very difficult process to choose the winners. So those that were chosen as winners of the awards should all be feeling very proud and we would like to say a special congratulations to:-
