20 July 2026
Belinda MacLeod, Peripatetic Support Manager for Autism at Kingwood, has been nominated by her team for the Home Care Coordinator Award for the Great British Care Awards.
Autism at Kingwood uses a person-centred approach to build meaningful and unconditional professional relationships with our clients that they can absolutely rely on. To build this trust, continuity of care is essential. Belinda fully embraces this approach, encouraging the people she manages support for to both rely on others and foster independence, enabling them to live a fulfilling and meaningful life. Her team members have profound respect for Belinda and offered the following comments:
‘Belinda’s caring manner and how easily she establishes trust and rapport with all individuals is amazing…. Belinda has always had a professional and respectful approach towards the people we support and her staff team.’ Dean
‘The care and thoughtfulness that Belinda has for her team shines through. It is a reflection of the attitude that she has for our clients, only ever wanting the best for them, so that they can be the best version of themselves.‘ Owen
All staff have both mandatory and specialist training to ensure they have the correct skills to support individuals. Belinda offers regular supportive and reflective supervision, offering person-centred professional development. Dean says, ‘Belinda is always willing to discuss any difficult issues and is always able to offer solutions in times of crisis.’ Owen says ‘Since I started with Kingwood, in August 2020, Belinda has been a constant source of encouragement, guidance and support.’
Belinda’s team feel truly supported emotionally as well as practically and say:
‘During more challenging times Belinda has checked to make sure that I have been well, that I haven’t been out of my depth or feeling stressed.’ Owen
‘Belinda took me under her wing totally made me enjoy the job I do with her full support’ Alexandra
