Hounslow social worker Ojara Ikeagwu has been confirmed as one of those killed in the London bombings, writes Simeon Brody.
 
The 56-year-old worked with adults with learning difficulties and leaves a husband and three children.

Hounslow social services director Susanna White said Ikeagwu was a social worker of the highest calibre. “She shone out above us all with her commitment, dedication and positive attitude.  Her loss will be felt by her clients and many people across the council.”

Judy Smart, head of care management at the Berkeley Centre, said, “We are all deeply saddened by Ojara’s death. She played a significant role within our team and brought to it her irrepressible personality.

“Ojara had her own inimitable style of work with service users, parents and carers and was highly committed to the Learning Disability Service. She was never daunted and never shied away from seeking a resolution for the ultimate benefit of service users and their families.”

Anat Rosenberg, who worked for children’s charity NCH, has also been confirmed as one of those killed on July 7.
 
Rosenberg, 39, an administrator within the charity’s children’s services department since 2001, died in the bus explosion in Tavistock Square.
