How can we help?
We provide independent social work assessments tailored to the needs of each family and the questions before the Court.
Parenting Assessments
Independent, evidence-based assessments that consider parenting capacity, strengths, risks and the individual needs of the child.
ParentAssess
Accessible parenting assessments for parents with additional needs, with reasonable adaptations embedded throughout the process.
Robust and proportionate assessments of family members and friends being considered as carers for children.
Connected Persons Assessment
Assessment that sees the whole picture.
Good assessment is more than completing a framework.
We take time to understand the individual, the family, the evidence and the context around them. Our assessments bring those strands together to provide clear, balanced analysis that stands up to scrutiny while remaining fair and accessible to the people at the centre of the process.
Independent
Accessible
Evidence-led
Clear professional analysis, without losing sight of the people involved.
Conclusions grounded in evidence, professional standards and the individual circumstances of each family.
An assessment process adapted to communication, learning and additional needs, rather than expecting every family to fit the same approach.

If you are being assessed
We understand that being part of an assessment can feel daunting.
An assessment isn't about expecting you to be perfect. It is to understand you, your family and your circumstances fairly, and to consider both strengths and areas of concern.
We will explain what we are doing, why we are asking particular questions and what you can expect from the assessment process.
