Testimonials

“I believe in recognising good practice amongst colleagues and services. Especially with a plan of adoption, this can be a difficult and emotive time for everyone involved. That being said, the ISW was truly dedicated throughout this process. She had frequent communication with several professionals and family members, wrote a fair and balanced parenting assessment (and sibling assessment), and gave evidence in court clearly and confidently.

Having worked with a multitude of Independent Social Workers, it’s a pleasure to work alongside someone who strives to ensure professionalism, accuracy, and emotional intelligence are utilised simultaneously in their approach.”

 

Parent

I am extremely pleased with the outcome of this report/assessment, with no corrections to add. This report is written word for word regarding things that were discussed. The ISW has been great help and guidance throughout the whole time the assessment started up until the very end, I couldn’t thank her enough.

Local Authority

I don’t know how the ISW has pulled all of this together, to her usually exceptionally high standard, on time!! Please pass on my thanks!

Solicitor

I was having a bit of a time locating an Independent Social Worker to assess a knotty matter. Matt at ACCA came through really quickly and helpfully. If you are in need of an Independent Social Worker for any type of assessment, then ACCA is well worth getting in touch with. .
