Hello, my name is Pattie Saunders, and I am the independent social worker who chairs your annual foster carer reviews. In addition to these reviews, I also conduct monthly quality and wellbeing calls to ensure that the needs of both the children and carers are being met and supported effectively.

I have been a social worker for many years, working across a broad range of services and with various age groups, from children to older adults. My experience spans both frontline practice and management roles in areas such as fostering, child protection, safeguarding, mental health, residential, learning disabilities, therapeutic services, commissioning, and forensic social work. This diverse experience allows me to bring a well-rounded and fresh perspective to my approach.

I am deeply committed to providing compassionate, trauma-informed, and attachment-focused support to the children and families I work with. Every child's journey is unique, and I am dedicated to working in partnership with families, carers, and independent providers to create a nurturing environment where children can thrive. I firmly believe that every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and heard, and the support we offer foster families is vital in making this a reality.

I look forward to continuing to work with foster carers, children, and the agency to provide the best care and outcomes for the children we support.

Hello, I'm Cat. I started working at Pyramid Care in 2018. I am currently a Therapeutic Social Work assistant and support families. Within my role I provide administrative support and support to the children. This keeps my role varied and enjoyable! In my spare time I enjoy yoga, reading and going on holiday.

I joined Pyramid Care in the summer of 2025, bringing with me a wealth of administrative experience across a variety of roles.

I take pride in being organised, reliable and always ready to support the team. Outside of work, I enjoy travelling and spending quality time with my wonderful family, including three gorgeous grandchildren, and my friends.

I've worked as a Supervising Social Worker at Pyramid Care since June 2022 and have worked in social care/specialist education settings since completing my Social Work degree at the University of Bath in 2016. Outside of work, I love exploring new places, spending time with family and friends, enjoying walks in nature, and being creative - at the moment, I'm particularly interested in floristry!
