Our Customers
Our Psychological services are commissioned by the following organisations:
- Local authorities
- Solicitors
- Courts
- Independent organisations e.g. children’s residential homes
- Schools
The majority of our referrals come from local authorities and solicitors for assessments taking place in court proceedings or the public law outline (PLO).
This usually involves our psychologists assessing parents for psychological issues, cognitive functioning or learning disabilities. If the parent is assessed as having a learning disability, they may require a specialist ParentAssess or PAMS assessment.
Our psychologists also carry out assessments of children to determine whether the trauma they may have encountered has impacted on them psychologically. They also carry out assessments of sibling and parent-child attachment.
Multi-disciplinary Services
WillisPalmer provides multi-disciplinary teams of psychologists, social workers, psychiatrists, forensic risk experts and family support workers to provide support and intervention to children and families. Our Multi-disciplinary Family Assessment service is a prime example of our professionals working together to address complex risks while keeping families together where safe to do so.
