Competition Winners! Back
The Care Council held a nationwide art and writing competition earlier this year for children and young people in residential care to design a perfect care worker. This was an opportunity to share their views about what makes a good worker and to win some prizes!
The Care Council is looking at how workers and managers in residential care continue to learn and develop new skills, knowledge and understanding, and we believe that children and young people have a very important contribution to this process. Through their experiences they can provide a unique perspective and can share what they identify as the right values, behaviours, skills and knowledge that residential child care workers need to work well and meet their needs.
A big thank you to everyone who entered - all the drawings, posters, and written work were great and we will use your comments and ideas about the ideal worker in our work.
The 1st and 2nd prize winners’ work has been produced as posters and will shortly available on request to display in residential care homes or social work offices, as a reminder of the attributes children and young people want. They have already been on display at the Residential Child Care Conference – A Positive Option, held in Cardiff at the end of April, and many of those present requested copies of the posters. And of course, the young people have received their own poster together with a letter of congratulations and gift vouchers.
Thank you also to the judging panel from Voices from Care Cymru who had the hard task of deciding on the winners.
