A Stirling Council social worker has been shortlisted for a major honour in recognition of the outstanding care and support she delivered to a group of refugee children and adults from Ukraine.
Wendy McKitterick, team leader for Family Placement, is among the three finalists for the Social Worker of the Year at the Scottish Social Services Awards (SSSA).
Wendy, who has been a social worker with the council for more than 25 years, was nominated for the accolade following her extraordinary efforts to create a safe, nurturing environment for a group of young people and adults from children’s homes in Ukraine.
