Background

About Jillian Payne

With a BA in Social Work from the University of Sunderland, I am a Senior Practitioner at Darlington Borough Council, where I have been providing high-quality adult social care and safeguarding services for over eight years. I have a strong expertise in mental capacity assessment and intervention, as well as working with diverse and complex cases. I am a qualified Best Interest Assessor and do this work independently. I am passionate about supporting vulnerable adults and their families, and ensuring their rights and dignity are respected. I work collaboratively with other professionals and agencies, and contribute to the continuous improvement of the service. I am committed to enhancing my knowledge and skills, and pursuing further training and development opportunities.
