Clair Honnor started her career as a social worker more than 20 years ago and has worked in a variety of roles over the years.
Clair said: “Social work can be challenging at times, but making a difference in a child’s life is deeply satisfying.
“There’s no better way to understand what’s going on than visiting a family in their home and speaking with them. COVID-19 has had an impact on family life for many and, if anything, the need for help and home visits from social workers is even greater. There are so many vulnerable children who need our support. They need somebody to make sure they’re okay.
“The best part of my job is building up trust with a family in my care and nurturing them to make the changes needed to have positive impact on their lives.
“It’s about building connections with families, helping them find solutions, knowing you’ve made a difference. That makes the stressful days so much better.”
