Community Care wins top industry award

Community Care has scooped the ‘Magazine of The Year’
award at the magazine journalism industry’s oscars at the
Grosvenor hotel, in London.

Judges for the Periodical Publishers Association awarded the
prize to the magazine for its website, which provides a daily news
service and web-only specials; its annual free conference Community
Care Live, which last year attracted more than 3,000 visitors; and
its spin-off title 0-19, which was launched last year for
professionals working with vulnerable and socially excluded
children.

Its strong coverage of challenging issues, particularly the
Victoria Climbie case, also impressed the judges, and the impact of
the ‘Changing Minds’ campaign on children’s mental health
services, was singled out as a “major
achievement”.
