Cath McEvoy-Carr

Cath is the Director of Children’s Services for Newcastle City Council. A qualified social worker for over 30 years, she has almost exclusively worked in local authority statutory children’s social work, except for a brief spell when she was Her Majesty’s Inspector (HMI) with Ofsted in the social care field. Cath has been involved in several national projects including MASH evaluations, complex care planning, LPS development, and stakeholder councils. She also represents the regional DCS’ on the Integrated Care Board.

Cath likes to keep close to practice and is looking forward to contributing to the Practice Guides and hopes to see the support that this can provide to front-line practitioners and strategic managers.
