My name is Debra. I have been working as Fostering Administrator at Dean and Cauvin since March 2017. I have enjoyed the challenge of helping set up ROOM4U Fostering and it was a proud moment when we approved our first foster carers. I have worked in fostering and adoption since 2006 and relish the challenges.<\/p>\n<p>I am from Musselburgh in East Lothian but now live in Bonnyrigg with my husband, David, and English Bulldog, Snorri. Snorri keeps me busy and amused with his daily antics. I enjoy arts and crafts, reading, baking, travelling and spending time with my husband and dog.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Service Manager<\/p>\n<p>Carolyn Thomson<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.room4ufostering.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Carolyn-Thomson-Senior-Manager-250x250.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Hi all, my name is Carolyn and I am currently the Fostering and Transition Team Service Manager.<\/p>\n<p>I have worked for the Trust for 25 years and have worked in most capacities across the Trust during my time in service. I enjoy my work very much and particularly enjoy building trusting working relationships with young people and their families. I get excited about new developments which have been developed in response to young peoples feedback. I believe we can learn so much from working with young people\/parents and this enables me to shape my practice while working with young people\/parents.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoy spending time with my family, and my hobbies are cooking, reading and watching movies. Looking forward to working with you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Supervising Social Worker Iain Cross My name is Iain and I am the supervising social worker for Room4U Teenage Fostering.
