“Very high – I have had approximately 5 reports prepared for me by WillisPalmer and they are all of a good quality.” Charity, London

“I have been very happy with Willis Palmer’s responsiveness and the detailed understanding that the Contract Manager has in regard to best practice and regulatory requirements in assessing foster carers.” – Service Manager, Local Authority

Kinship Assessment

We can complete full kinship assessments for you within 6 weeks, using the latest BAAF report templates.

It is increasingly important that these assessments are conducted fast. The revised court guidance in the Public Law Outline places greater emphasis on local authorities’ preparation of cases before proceedings, avoiding unnecessary delay by ensuring all necessary steps have been completed.

Our assessments include all kinship care options being fully explored and our consultants have significant experience undertaking these assessments both within and outside civil proceedings.
