Carol Davies

Carol was a highly valued member of the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Safeguarding People System. She had served for many years in different roles in both adults and children's safeguarding. Most recently she had served as the Deputy Designated Nurse for Safeguarding Adults at the CCG, having retired a year earlier from the Designated Nurse for Safeguarding Adults role. She will be dearly missed. We are glad to gather our thoughts and memories of her here.

    Carol and I have shared an office in the City Care Centre for the last 3-4 years. We both enjoyed a good cuppa and were like creatures of habit each morning, taking turns for the next brew and the opportunity to stretch our legs and meet others in the office. Carol was incredibly knowledgeable in all matters of adult safeguarding and had a tenacious spirit in her approach. Overhearing many conversations (as she did mine) she calmly and confidently talked through such matters with callers be they concerned family or another colleague. She had a great deal of patience and an ear willing to listen. She could be methodical in her responses and had great words of wisdom using her past experiences. Carol and I could talk about anything and offered support to each other, talking about our gardens, families and friends. There were her personal achievements to celebrate and challenges where I could provide my listening ear. As fellow nurses we could talk through scenarios and situations in our professional capacity. It's just a year since Carol was preparing for her 60th birthday and retirement plans, including refresher training to work with Hospice at Home through Sue Ryder. We talked of our joy for the theaters and when Mary Poppins Returns arrived on the London stage, Carol, Tina and I hopped on a bus trip in November last year for a little shopping, lovely Italian meal and the show. Colleagues always felt at ease to seek Carol for her pearls of wisdom, support and advice by popping in the office, always happy to do and say whatever was appropriate. She had a fun side and a great sense of humour, always had a party game up her sleeve and whenever there was something going on in the office or across the CCG, was supportive and got involved. Carol was great for expressions one being the 'courageous conversation' and probably the best was, 'leaky eye syndrome', which always brought a smile when referenced! Carol was hard working, conscientious, kind, considerate, compassionate and fun. She was a wonderful person and a pleasure to have known and worked with. She will be fondly remembered. Miss you Carol

    Oh why did we lose touch? We became friends 30 years ago. I remember you wore black, 'witchy' shoes, (your description) and we had similar flowery carpet bags. Then, you loved Northern Soul and dancing, I hated both! Your favourite colour was any shade of lilac and you delighted in your crystals and almost anything holistic and 'alternative'. We used to go to Hunstanton and reckoned we would continue to do this when we were old, clutching our carpet bags, wearing chiffon scarves and purple, like the book. You were always so calm and firm yet fair, never judged and was always loyal to the under-dog. I'll always remember your left-handed, precise, slanting script and your huge sense of fun and zest for life. This is so, so sad and unfair. We lost touch but I will never forget you.

    Carol was not only a source of wisdom on safeguarding matters but she was a brilliant mentor, compassionate and a genuine line manager who went above and beyond expectations of her role. Her calm and reassuring manner transformed even the most difficult of situations into a positive experience. Carol saw the potential in others and brought the best out of them. Her unique qualities are the true definition of humanity. What a sad loss!

    Carol was the first person I met when I joined the CCG in early 2018. Typically, she was doing a favour for someone else and met me at the front desk of the City Care Centre in Peterborough to escort me upstairs. She was a friendly face, very welcoming and engaging. From time to time our work paths crossed and she was always helpful and very confident in her field. We were both early starters and she always had a pleasant greeting and stopped by my desk for a quick chat. I will miss her easy grace and companionship. RIP Carol
