Team celebrates Social Work Apprentice of the Year and Employer of the Year Nomination

Submitted by fosteringtogether on 10 February 2026

We are absolutely delighted to share some wonderful news from the Fostering Together team. 

Rachael has been named Social Work Apprentice of the Year by the University of Kent for her qualifying year of work to become a fully-fledged Social Worker — a fantastic and well-deserved achievement. 

This award recognised not only Rachael’s top grades in her cohort, but plenty of extremely positive comments from colleagues and the fostering families she support  Rachael was selected from a strong cohort of apprentices, making the award an even greater accomplishment. 

We are also proud to share that Fostering Together was nominated for Employer of the Year at the same awards, making us a doubly proud team!

Congratulations, Rachael — and thank you for everything you contribute to our team and the families we support.

Winner - Rachael!
