Lydia has worked for the Fostering Team at Channels and Choices since January 2020. After completing an MA in Social Work she started her career in the field of child protection and looked after children, and later worked in adult social care. Aspiring to build on her existing skills and exercise her passion for art, she decided to complete an MA in Arts-Health, where she learned to use Art safely as a form of practical everyday support for people with diverse needs. She devised and managed her own research project into the impact of the Arts on adults with autism. Seeking to use this experience in different areas she started work as a Supervising Social Worker for a therapeutic Fostering Agency and later became Fostering Manager before joining the Channels and Choices Fostering Team.
