You may have heard that PAMS Assessments are closing down, and the software needed for the assessment is no longer available, nor is the technical support. We are still able to provide these assessments for our customers, however we recommend using ParentAssess.

If you need support reducing your backlogs or finding the right expertise, get in touch. We'll source the most suitable Independent Social Worker from our nationwide panel. Get in touch today - advancedcca.co.uk/make-a-referra…

Before our assessors undertake ParentAssess they receive 2 days of training, allowing them to focus on understanding parental limitations and to identify the most effective means of engaging the parent/facilitating parental participation. #ParentAssess #Assessment #SocialCare

ParentAssess has reports and tables that are specifically designed to help the parent understand the outcome. An example of this is the traffic light system!

Providing families with a single Social Worker or Parenting Practitioner will provide a greater opportunity to develop an effective working relationship with the family. Our Early Help and Intervention services can provide us the opportunity to develop positive relationships.
