The “Oscar Night “of the Learning Disability and Autism field.

The British Institute of Learning Disabilities (BILD) hosted the National Learning Disabilities and Autism Awards at the ICC in Birmingham. With over 1000 people from all over the UK attending this Black tie, gala event, Jaffray Care were again for the second year running named Employer of the Year 2016. It is the first time any Charity has won an award twice in a row and is a reflection of our determination to ensure we train, mentor, coach and reward our staff.

Colleen Hamilton also sung a wonderful rendition of Three little Birds as part of the Ebrook Choir.

The end of the night saw the final award for “Outstanding Contribution” announced and presented by TV personality Christopher Biggins. It was presented to our very own Chief Executive Lee Hendon! Lee was recognised by BILD for her 30 years contribution to learning disabilities and mental health nursing. Her work in the criminal justice system was also highly commended and she was also recognised for her academic research and for her pioneering focus to improve services for people with challenging needs and complex health care.
