Advanced Plus

Advanced Plus is a groundbreaking brand under the umbrella of ACCA (Advanced Child Care Assessments) and AACA (Advanced Adult Care Assessments). We are dedicated to providing innovative, comprehensive, and compassionate social care services. Our mission is to support families, children, and adults through specialised services and tailored programmes that promote well-being and stability.

The 24/7 in the Home Programme

  • Around-the-clock support and monitoring by Independent Social Workers and Parenting Practitioners.
  • Two-stage assessment: initial suitability/risk assessment followed by in-home observation and support.
  • Utilises SNAP (Strengths and Needs Analysis Programme) for targeted intervention.

Benefits 

  • Continuous, 24/7 support and monitoring, ensuring that families receive immediate assistance and intervention when needed.
  • Independent Social Workers and Parenting Practitioners actively observe, guide the family and support parents in developing the skills required for safe and effective parenting.
  • Rich, detailed evidence ready for court. Every daily log serves as a comprehensive and authentic depiction of family life. 

SNAP (Strengths and Needs Analysis Programme)

  • 15 one-to-one sessions using pictorial aids to explore parenting and independence.
  • Identifies strengths and areas for improvement to enhance parenting capacity.

Why Do We Use Pictorial Aids?

The SNAP programme incorporates pictorial aids throughout the sessions to enhance understanding and engagement. These visual tools are particularly effective in helping parents grasp complex concepts and relate them to their real-life situations.

  • Visual Learning: Pictorial aids simplify the communication of ideas, making it easier for parents to understand and retain information. This is especially beneficial for parents with learning difficulties or who struggle with traditional verbal or written communication methods.

TOP (Teaching, Observe and Practice) Programme

  • Delivers bespoke teaching in specific areas identified during assessments.
  • It helps parents develop skills to meet their child’s needs.

Benefits

  • The programme is a highly targeted and personalised initiative designed to enhance parents’ skills in areas that need improvement during the initial assessment process. 
  • This programme is specifically tailored to meet the unique needs of each family, ensuring that parents receive the support and training necessary to care for their children effectively.

Contact Supervision

For when your family doesn’t require around-the-clock supervision, but they do require observational services and evidence for the court arena. 

  • Provides observed contact and skill development for parents.
  • Supports parents with learning needs or inexperience for safe rehabilitation.
