We aim to deliver a holistic family approach where the welfare and protection of children are paramount. Independent Social Work Services provides a friendly and professional approach. We aim to meet your goals and remove the administrative burden of your workload by providing independent social work services. We undertake reports which offer a fair, evidence-based evaluation of the family's circumstances and will work within the agreed timescales throughout Eastleigh and the South of England (Portsmouth, Southampton, Gosport, Bournemouth and more). Services are offered to local authorities, solicitors in private practice and the courts.
We commission work to experienced social workers and family practitioners who are familiar with the local area. They are currently working within statutory services, which provides the added experience and up-to-date training. We are looking to hold community-based events with our expanding network of professionals.
We can provide supervised/supported contact within the community for families within Private Law Proceedings. We can also deliver restorative meetings to help families move forward positively post-separation. Ultimately, we can help parents understand the negative impacts of acrimonious relationships
Our services offer a wide range of assessments and reports, namely but not exclusively:
We have provided lecturers for social work students at Portsmouth university in 2024 and are booked to deliver a lecture for students at Chichester university in 2025. Furthermore, Kerry and Jeremiah were the Independent Social Workers representing ISWs in Hampshire for a Panel discussion on 16th June 2025 for the YResolution (network of family law professionals). This was a successful panel discussion with barristers from College Chambers.
