We are experienced in all kinds of ISW assessment work. Typically, though, most of it relates to parenting, Special Guardianship/Connected Persons assessments. A vast majority of cases we get involved in are within pre-proceedings or care proceedings arenas.

We have a small team of between 7 and 10 very experienced independent social work consultants. Any ISW applicants must meet our high professional standards and our recruitment process is robust. We are currently recruiting and potential ISW applicants are asked to contact us via contacts@emezzionsccc.com

Yes, at this time we have Polish speaking ISWs. However, we have developed, and over the past several years successfully applied, the Tandem ISW/FSW Assessment Model (TAM), which has proven to be very effective. The TAM is applied in cases where the family to be assessed are of a non-British cultural and linguistic background.

We are a national leader in culturally-competent and culturally- sensitive ISW assessments in the context of care proceedings in the UK. We have completed dozens of ISW assessments of families originating from Poland, Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Lithuania, Latvia, the Ukraine, Germany, The Netherlands, Italy, Australia, The Gambia, France, South Africa, Nigeria, The United States, Russia, Norway and Ireland, amongst others. Many of those assessments included traveling abroad and meeting with the families in the countries they reside in. We have developed professional relationships with Central Authorities and allied professionals in several Eastern European countries. Our managing director, also an ISW, is a trainer on assessing and working with families from Eastern and Central Europe.

We accept referrals from professionals (social workers, solicitors). Members of the public can make enquiries, of course, but referrals must come from professionals, such as a solicitor representing the interested party, for example. Please note any such assessment must be sanctioned by the court (in care proceedings) or agreed by the referring local authority (pre-proceedings)

We can complete ISW assessments anywhere in the UK. Moreover, we have significant experience in assessing families resident in Europe and around the World.
