Shared Lives receive top team award

Pauline Morley, Area Manager Leeds, nominated the Shared Lives staff team for a Top Team Award which was accepted by SMT. Pictured are members of the Shared Life team and Pauline being awarded their certificate by Karen Newsome, Director.

The Shared Lives Scheme initially achieved a 3 star excellent rating in 2007 and following a recent random inspection in April 2010, this was successfully retained. This is not easily achieved and a lot of hard work and dedication has gone into ensuring that these high standards are maintained.

In addition, the service is commended for its recent re-launch with the Local Authority. The joint event was held at the Civic Hall to re-launch the service as St. Anne's Shared Lives with the Leeds Shared Lives service. This was a great success and well attended and the appreciation for the service clearly demonstrated at this event. The service is also expanding despite the current financial climate.

SMT and the Board thank the team for their invaluable contribution to the work of St Anne’s and wish them all continued success in the future.
