Kate Kenny

I’m Katie Kenny. I’m a fully qualified social worker and practice educator in Solihull.

I’ve been qualified since 2004, and always worked within Children and Families in Solihull.

I’ve had various roles in different teams, but specialising in direct work to support positive changes, using Signs of Safety approach.

During my time in frontline practice, I had 4 students and loved supporting them with their learning and development.

I moved across into Workforce Development in 2019 and become the lead in delivering and supporting all things Practice Education! This meant delivering and working with Bournemouth university to deliver their Practice Education award.

I also deliver training on Chronologies, Child and Family Assessments and Outcome Focussed plans.

I am committed to ensuring that social workers involved in Practice Education are well supported and valued and that we develop highly skilled Practice Educators who can provide social work students with a valuable learning experience.
