CHILDREN’S SERVICES


HOW IT WORKS

We provide managed teams and undertake a variety of assessments for local authorities, private organisations and charities throughout the UK to support children and families needs. We firmly believe in supporting families by undertaking thorough child-centred, holistic assessments.  Our aim is to support our clients in providing positive outcomes for children and their families by relieving pressure on existing social work staff and bolstering current resource shortages by adding capacity in the form of managed teams and/or independent social workers.

Our social workers are dedicated to supporting children, young people, and their families. They have a proven track record evidenced by the quality and speed of service provided, further endorsed by our testimonials from both families and partner agencies.

  • CAPACITY
    We have a large talent pool of practitioners throughout the UK.

  • LEAD TIME
    Quick turnaround to meet statutory and regulatory requirements including out of hours and weekend visits.

  • PRACTITIONERS

    High quality, experienced, compliant and qualified specialist workers.

  • QUALITY ASSURED
    Our in-house quality assurance team which is led and overseen by the Children’s Head of Service are on hand to provide high-level oversight and supervision on all work produced ensuring our clients have assessments that can  withstand court or panel scrutiny. 

  • QUANTITY
    There is no minimum requirement. We can undertake one-off assessments/visits, extensive backlogs, cohorts of work or fill service gaps with managed teams.

  • PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
    Prior to commencing work we will agree on how to proceed; which templates you prefer and any individualised requirement you may have. We have a full suite of referral and assessment templates which we can utilise or tailor to your specific needs. Alternatively, we are happy to use our clients resources. We can commence work at any stage in proceedings.
