What this is
Where care and the law meet.
Our psycho-legal services comprise a focused array of investigations centred on assessing primary care capabilities, and on determining the most suitable residency arrangements for children.
This work is conducted with the seriousness it deserves. The child’s best interests remain the standard against which every finding is measured.
How we work
Measured, impartial, child-centred.
- Assessment of primary care capability against the child’s best interests
- Structured observation in controlled, appropriate settings
- Collaboration with social service agencies where a matter requires it
- Children given a genuine platform to be heard on what happens to them
What changes
What this work produces.
- A clear view of relational dynamics within the family
- Informed recommendations on guardianship and residency
- Findings that centre the child’s voice, not only the adults’
Reports for statutory matters
Where an assessment forms part of a statutory case, reports are to be requested in writing by the social worker, lawyer or welfare organisation involved in the matter.
