Independent Social Work Assessments

Social Work Assessment provides high-quality independent social work assessments for local authorities, family courts, and private individuals.

Throughout all of our work we maintain the highest standards of professionalism and person-centred practice.

We pride ourselves on high-quality and robust assessments. The parents we are working with deserve this, their children deserve this, the courts deserve it, and you as our instructing agency deserve this too.
