have a chat about one of the groups available that will be best suited based on the child’s own individuality. MADE (Making a Difference Everywhere) REQUESTS FOR INVITATIONS The QAU will send out requests for invitations to be completed. It is really important that this is undertaken so that we can maximise the participation at conferences and reports can be shared with professionals and parents in a timely manner. LEAFLETS The QAU has recently developed a variety of leaflets for LADO; IRO Handbook for Young People and leaflet/consultation document for young people to support them in Child Protection Conferences. GOODBYES AND NEW STARTERS Alan Doran left the QAU in February after 42 years working for the Authority and had a wealth of experience in children’s social care and will be sadly missed by his friends and colleagues and we wish him well as he can now spend some much needed rest and fun with his lovely new Granddaughter, Esme. Sue Wilkinson also left the QAU in January but she will be returning at the end of May 2016 for a short period, as Lisa Mulcahy will also be leaving us next week as she pursues a career with OfSTED as an Inspector for Children’s Homes. Jacky Evans will be commencing her role as the new IRO for the team shortly. We really look forward to her joining the team and she will bring with her a wealth of experience in Children’s Services in child protection, leaving care, looked after children and fostering. FINALLY…. This will be a quarterly newsletter so please feel free to make comments and suggestions for inclusion in the next newsletter. Email:
