Supporting parents to demonstrate their capacity to provide safe and nurturing care in a structured environment.

Our Residential Parenting Assessments provide parents with the opportunity to live in a supported setting where their ability to care for their child can be observed, guided, and assessed over time. These assessments are particularly valuable where concerns have been raised about parenting capacity or where families require sustained support to make positive changes.

Working collaboratively with social workers, health professionals, and local authorities, our assessors combine structured observation, daily monitoring, and tailored guidance to evaluate how parents meet their child’s physical, emotional, and developmental needs.

What the assessment includes:

• A safe, supervised residential setting with professional support

• Ongoing observation of parenting routines, responses, and interactions

• Assessment of safety, attachment, emotional warmth, and consistency

• Support plans to promote parenting skills and stability

• A comprehensive, evidence-based report with clear recommendations

Our approach is compassionate yet robust — enabling parents to reflect, learn, and strengthen their caregiving capacity while ensuring that the child’s safety and wellbeing remain paramount.
