New Year, New You.

PSS are running a Health and Wellbeing Event for all Employees, Support Workers, Volunteers and anyone associated with PSS. The Event will be supported by many Health Representatives from across the City to offer advice, guidance and support for YOU and it's FREE. A great chance to get a Health MOT.

Not everyone has the time these days to check out their own Health (even though it should be a priority). The focus of this day is on YOU. NHS Health Trainers, CHAT's representative and Health Champions will be in attendance for You.

The event will run from 11am until 3pm on Friday 9th March 2012 at PSS Head Office in Seel Street and includes a Health MOT, various fitness activities, and will also be the launch of the 'New You' Health and Wellbeing Programme.

For more details contact Terry Bates on 0151 702 5532 or email Terry.Bates@pss.org.uk

Pilot social work project wins award

A groundbreaking social work team at PSS has won a key award.

PSS’s Social Work Practice team was a joint initiative with Liverpool City Council to improve outcomes for looked after children by working differently.

The project in Liverpool city centre has won a silver award in the prestigious Social Work Team of the Year awards. The pilot put social workers at the heart of all the decision making about the 120 children and young people in their care. They had autonomy when making decisions about placements but also on things such as budgets and recruiting staff. Administrative staff also reduced the paper work burden on social workers and freed them up to do more direct work with families.

Margaret Rowlands, PSS Children and Families Interim Head of Service, said: “This award is really deserved – this was an entirely new team working on a pilot project and they achieved so much.
