Connected Persons Assessments
Assessment of family members and other connected people being considered as potential carers, exploring their capacity to provide safe, stable and sustainable care.
Parenting Assessments
Independent parenting assessments in public and private law proceedings, providing balanced analysis of parenting capacity, risk, strengths and the potential for change.
ParentAssess Assessments
Adapted parenting assessments for parents who may have learning disabilities, learning difficulties or other additional needs. Assessment is paced and presented in a way that supports meaningful participation while maintaining professional rigour.
Private Law Assessments
Independent assessment where parental conflict, safeguarding concerns, emotional harm or complex family dynamics require detailed exploration and analysis.
Supervised Family Time & Assessment
Purposeful observation of family time, with clear reporting and analysis that can contribute to wider assessment and decision-making.
Specialist Assessments
Bespoke assessments addressing specific questions before the Court, including Re W assessments, risk assessments and other complex or specialist instructions, providing clear, focused and evidence-led analysis.
Not every family needs the same assessment.
We don't start with a template and try to make the family fit it.
We consider the questions before the Court, the evidence available and the individual needs of the adults and children involved before agreeing the most appropriate assessment approach.
Where adaptations are needed, these are built into the assessment from the outset.
Proportionate. Accessible. Evidence-led.
