Fostering Film Award

Celebrations were held on Tuesday as we received not one but two awards for our current fostering film 'Any of Us'.

The comms2point0 UnAwards which recognises excellence in public sector communications, were presented by John Cooper and Dalbir Kaur of CAN Digital after being judged by a panel and community voting.

We were joined by Trust Board, EMT, Fostering Managers and a selection of foster carers.  Jacqui Smith accepted our award for the 'Best Collaboration' and 'Best Creative Comms' awards for the film project.

Jacqui said:

"We’re really proud to win these awards but even prouder about what they say about our way of working.  To be recognised in the “Best Collaboration” and “Best Creative Comms” categories is an indication of what Sandwell Children’s Trust is striving to achieve - working smarter, finding new solutions and partnerships so that we can provide the best support to our foster carers and ensure that our most vulnerable children and young people get the love, care and support they deserve.”

We were one of the founding contributors to this project and we know that it’s only by working in partnership can we produce promotional films to this standard. The UnAwards judging panel said: “This is exactly the kind of campaign the public sector needs right now. It combined precious resources to secure a better chance of success for everyone who collaborated – boosted by smart targeting and a beautifully shot video…”

Congratulations and well done to everyone involved in the project.
