About us
Formed in 2018, Social Work Assessment is a small bespoke company that focuses on quality and people over quantity and profit.
We provide high-quality independent social work assessments for local authorities, family courts, and private individuals.
Our Story
Social Work Assessment offer high-quality, person-centred, and on-time assessments to local authorities throughout England and Wales, working with their clients both in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Drawing on over a decade of experience in social work and fifteen years plus in social care, we have a proven track record in supporting local authorities with their duties.
Our small and friendly team is our strength. You will always be speaking with a qualified and registered social worker when you speak with us and always have the contact details for your assigned assessor.
We do not take on too much work or overstretch ourselves; being focused on quality and people over quantity and profit.
Our work is transparent, planned, and professional. You will have a response and quote to your query within one working day and a full assessment plan and schedule within two working days of allocation.
There are no ‘hidden extras’, over-inflated hours, or excessive prices in our costings. All of our assessments are based on the same simple price structure and follow the same time guidance. You will know exactly how long our assessments will take, the price they will cost, and when they will be filed.
The people we are assessing will be contacted within one working day of us receiving formal instructions and contact details. Our assessments will fit around their schedules, jobs, contact plans, and courses.
Like you, they will receive a clear assessment plan so they know when they will see their assessing social worker and what to expect.
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.
Alongside high-quality independent social work assessments, we also provide contact supervision and transport, life story work, and training for professionals and parents alike.
