Maria has been a qualified Social Worker for 10 years and has worked for the local authority during this time. She has experience of working in different areas of social work, including Fostering, Disabled Children teams and front-line practice.

Maria feels that social work is not just a profession; it's a passion; social workers work in partnership with people, services and professionals. Social work is about people, seeing the person/child first, not their disability or their background. Maria carries this passion through supporting all young people and the families in our growing network.
