My daughter was born in 2015 with an undiagnosable genetic condition which included a number of disabilities. She experienced ill health and spent lengthy periods in hospital. I made the decision to take a career break to enable me to support my daughters needs. Due to my daughters conditions I have engaged with professionals regarding her health needs, EHCP and multiple of additional needs.

I very much enjoyed my social work career and was a competent and capable worker. I made the difficult decision to let my registration lapse and concentrate on my daughters needs. She has made great progress in recent years and I am very motivated to return to a social care setting and use my previous experience and qualifications to move forward in my career.
