Independent social work and assessment:
I practice as an independent social worker, providing expert witness assessment reports for the family courts, internal local authority panels or organisations on a case by case basis.
My expertise relates particularly to children who are hard to place or families that have been involved with services for significant lengths of time.
I am accredited in the use of the Story Stem Assessment Protocol and other advanced assessment tools.
Further details coming soon...
