Angell Phoenix said she was honoured to have been put forward for the annual award, which recognises and celebrate the outstanding contributions of social workers in their field.
She said: “My nomination came from our management team who are incredibly supportive, and I was surprised when they told me they had nominated me.
“Genuinely, that was enough for me.
