We understand that capacity and time are often a challenge in busy social work teams and our Social Work Assessments service has been designed to help alleviate some of these pinch points and provide professional, court or panel ready assessments in a tailored and timely manner. We can get you access to an independent social worker within 24 hours, along with their CV and a timescale to suit your requirements. If you’re in a hurry we can do it in as little as 30 minutes.

Our national team of Independent Social Workers can undertake a variety of social work assessments such as:

• Parenting assessments
• Assessment of kinship carers and connected persons
• Special Guardianship Assessments
• Fostering (Form F assessment)
• Adoption assessments (e.g. PAR assessments)
• International social work assessments
• Risk assessments, including specialist sexual abuse assessments
• Parents with learning disabilities, including PAM assessments
• Attachment assessments

All of our staff undergo a thorough recruitment process to ensure that we can allocate the most experienced assessors to you and are all Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) registered and DBS (criminal record) checked. In addition, we appoint a social work manager to support each of our associates through their tasks and our skilled administrative team make sure that referrals are processed with ease, whilst keeping an expert eye on timescales and costs. Reports and assessments are all quality assured, and are produced panel/court ready to your specifications.
