Council's deputy chief executive moves on from Slough
Slough Borough Council’s deputy chief executive and strategic director of cultural and community services, Dawn Warwick, will be leaving to join Wandsworth Borough Council as their new director of adult social services.
Dawn has been a key member of the management team since 2001, during which time she has helped the council establish itself as a three star provider of social services, overseen the establishment of People 1st and helped set up the national association of directors of adult social services, for which she is also the assistant honorary secretary.
Dawn is very sorry to be leaving Slough council and the borough in September, but is justly proud of what her team has achieved.
Ruth Bagley, chief executive for Slough Borough Council, said: "Dawn and her team have laid some very strong foundations and I am confident that her good work will be sustained during any transition.
“We are of course very sad to see her leave, but we wish her all the best at Wandsworth Council.”
Commissioner cultural and community services, Slough Cllr Julia Long, said: “Dawn will be greatly missed when she leaves, but her hard work, dedication and sheer determination in all she has done for the council will live on. I wish her congratulations and all the best in her new role.”
Cllr Cryer, commissioner for social care and social and economic inclusion added: "Dawn Warwick has been instrumental in bringing about the improvements we have seen in the council over the past few years. Social services has seen a transformation during her tenure, it is now an excellent department. Personally I have found her to be a dedicated, efficient, and highly professional director to work with, I wish her all the best in her new role."
