Alan Savill, a prominent member of the parenting team at Walsall Council, has achieved recognition as the recipient of the prestigious “Making An Impact” award at The National Facilitator Awards. The ceremony took place on 17th November at York Racecourse, where exceptional trainers were celebrated for their outstanding contributions.
With a wealth of experience in providing crucial support to parents and families across the UK during challenging periods of domestic conflict, Alan Savill has been instrumental in designing comprehensive training programs tailored for frontline professionals. These programs empower professionals to offer vital assistance to families in need.
Since 2019, Alan has successfully trained over 9500 professionals, equipping them with the knowledge and skills required to assist families facing various challenges. His commitment to improving the lives of families in crisis is evident in his dedication to the cause.
Joining Walsall Council as part of the parenting team last year, Alan continues to work directly with families and accepts referrals from various sources. Additionally, he collaborates with practitioners across the council and partners within the local community. This collaboration focuses on training on-the-ground staff to recognise and address parental conflict effectively. Furthermore, Alan plays a pivotal role in facilitating support groups and workshops for parents grappling with conflict, separation, divorce, and its impact on their children.
Expressing his gratitude for the award, Alan Savill said, ” This is a huge honour for me. I only train in subjects I believe in and have strived so hard to make the training around parental conflict relevant, inspirational, and interesting.”
He added, ” To know that I have made an impact to professionals across the country makes me so proud. Walsall Council believed in me since 2019 and so I jumped at the chance to work directly for them since last year. I work with so many dedicated people who care about children and I witness them making lives better daily. To be a part of this makes me very, very proud.”
