ParentAssess is a specialist framework that can be used to assess any parents, but was specially designed to assess parents with a learning disability or with additional issues such as:
It has been developed to ensure that parents fully understand and are involved in the process. Importantly, the child’s experience of being parented and their views are considered. The parent is also helped to understand the impact of their parenting.
ParentAssess is based on the DOH Assessment for Children and Families in Need Framework 2000.
ParentAssess is a referenced assessment tool in the Good Practice Guidance onworking with parents with a learning disability(July 2021).
ParentAssess is a named assessment framework in the Welsh Guidance for social workers for families where the parent has a learning disability [HTML] | GOV.WALES.
We have trained over 1200 Assessors in at least 80 different Local Authorities and Residential Family Centres as well as ISWs.
ParentAssess has been used in the Family Courts since 2017.
