Mandy Smith

June 18, 1971 - May 24, 2023

Mandy was a much loved and well-respected practitioner within Children's Services, with a vibrant character who could be described as ‘once met, never forgotten!’ She always made time for others and provided a listening ear, with a down to earth attitude which made it easy for people to talk to her and likely contributed to the way she formed relationships with some of our harder to reach children, young people and their families. She was always keen to make families feel equal, ensuring they felt listened to and not judged and applied this ethos to her colleagues too, always going out of her way to welcome new people to the team or service, often with her homemade sausage rolls in team meetings. Mandy had a passion for restorative work, and this could be seen in the effort and dedication she had to repairing and restoring relationships between families. Unlike some, Mandy loved being on duty, enjoying helping others in a crisis and being part of the team pulling together. She thrived on supporting and helping others and this is what she will be best remembered for, alongside her fantastic sense of humour which would have us all in stiches! And she will be a much-missed friend and colleague to many. This is a place for everyone to share thoughts, memories, stories and condolences and these will be collated into a book to be given to the family following the funeral.

Mandy, I loved working with you. You was such a lovely lady and very caring. I will always remember your great sense of humour especially during the Teams Meetings, you always made me laugh. I remember you asked me to make you a certificate to prove you had achieved something on the system which I did and you found it funny. During Group Supervisions you were very knowledgeable and contributed so much in helping so many families. You will be so missed by your colleagues and friends in Children and Families. I just can’t believe you are no longer here. I will miss you and I will always remember your lovely smile and humour. RIP dear Mandy xx
