Lyn Romeo was the first ever Chief Social Worker for adults in England. A qualified social worker for over 44 years, she has worked in children & families, adult social care, mental health and palliative care as a practitioner, manager and leader.  She has also been a Social Services Inspector.  She has promoted relational strengths-based practice as imperative in supporting and enabling people to have the best possible lives.

Lyn stepped down from her role as Chief Social Worker in early 2024 and since then has become a trustee for a number of charities and a board director on a housing and care provider for older people. Lyn sits on the Performance Review Committee at Hestia and is the Trustee Safeguarding lead.
