Three international Social Work students from Kingston University – Adebola, Cintia, and Sarah – attended the ‘Working Together with You’ event at Welcare in Redhill in February 2025.
The event aimed to showcase our services and provide insight into the needs of children, young people, and families locally. This is a crucial element of our collaborative approach to supporting families.
As in previous years, the event attracted a diverse group of professionals from both statutory and voluntary sectors. The students engaged in a lively discussion on the importance of partnership working, which is essential not only for Welcare, but across all sectors involved in safeguarding and supporting vulnerable families.
The positive feedback from both the students and other professionals underscored the value of such events for sharing information and fostering collaboration. The students remarked that the event helped them better understand the UK’s Family Support and Social Work context, and they greatly appreciated the opportunity to participate.
We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Kingston University’s Social Work Teaching Partnership.
