Care Industry for Once Receives a Good Rap

The social care industry has doubtless taken a battering over recent times through mistakes and negligence by just a tiny sample of individuals within the line of work and when sharks smell blood they move pretty quickly. Moral panic is high on a lot of media’s agenda and when it gets its teeth into something, the black and white press can turn any difficult to manage situation into a story of failure and thoughtlessness on the part of those responsible. So how about some good news?

Perhaps the cherry on top of all of this, a local radio station, Sovereign Radio organised a local hero awards where James was awarded “Young Achiever of the Year” for all of the above. He was unable to attend due to work commitments but his two very proud parents collected the award on his behalf.

I’m not writing a piece on a famed Gordon Ramsey type here. James isn’t quite hosting his own show and cruising in a Benz just yet but we have here a small scale success story that who knows, could develop – I always thought that he had the charisma and enthusiasm to become a TV chef, but James would probably have me for saying that! I do know that, thanks to James’ desire, ambition and flair and a well grounded support network of committed individuals he will be alright though, “Anderida helped me find out who I was by giving me the freedom and avenues to discover what I’m all about. They gave me great encouragement and helped to motivate me whilst always offering me support. I wouldn’t be where I am today without that support.” But you won’t find this on the front page of your tabloid tomorrow morning, will you?
