READING Borough Council play worker Connor Steepe has been nominated for the Chris Tarrant Award, sponsored by The Oracle.

He works with Reading Play, which provides support and opportunities for children in Reading through play.

Connor’s nominator put him forward for the award as a result of not only his work with the council, but also outside of his role there.

“He works tirelessly to support children with special educational needs and the children always come first.

“Alongside his normal day to day job, Connor also supports with additional work in after school clubs coupled with further work to support children who might be caring for their parents or an adult in their family at a young carers group.

“We provide a service to support children, sometimes one to one, sometimes in challenging behaviour units, or even specialist schools, with holiday clubs out of term.”

His nominator said: “Connor’s professionalism, dedication, drive and passion to support young people with special education needs and the children of Reading is an absolute joy and pleasure to see.

“Nothing is ever too much trouble and he will always push to boundaries to ensure the children in his care are always supported to better themselves and to thrive and develop.”

Connor says that the focus has to be on the children he works with.

“It’s my job, but everything I do is for them, absolutely– that’s what I’m there for.

“Even on the difficult days what keeps me going is that it’s just not about me, it’s about them – any troubles I have, leave at the door.”

Nominations for the Pride of Reading Awards 2022 are currently open.
