Hello

I'm Anna, the founder of Toto Social Work. The services available through this website are the product of 12 years (and counting!) of dedicated practice as a registered social worker.

Toto is created by me - a social worker, for social workers and the families they support.

Since completing an MSc Social Work in 2012, I've worked as a social worker and as a manager for Local Authorities in child protection and in early help teams. I've also developed skills in therapeutic family work whilst working for the the NSPCC and as a freelance Video Interaction Guidance therapist.

I'm passionate about developing social work practice in order to give parents the best possible support to look after their children. I've always appreciated the creativity needed for a social worker to find ways to engage families who are struggling, and to move through difficult circumstances together.

I founded Toto Social Work in 2023 as a way to "up-size" this creative thinking and commitment to innovative and quality social work practice.

“Anna's work with the family absolutely made a difference - the mother is more reflective and despite some difficulties continues to consider the impact her decisions may have on her children. Some months on, the children are no longer on Child Protection plans and we are looking to close our involvement. "
