A comprehensive evaluation that explores how a child interacts with the significant systems in their life, including their family, school, peers, and broader environment. The assessment considers how these interactions with these systems influence the child's emotional and social functioning and overall wellbeing. Where appropriate, standardised trauma screening tools may be administered to assess the impact of adverse experiences. Recommendations are provided with the child's best interests as the primary consideration.
A specialised, impartial assessment conducted to investigate allegations of child abuse. The evaluation involves a pre-forensic assessment and a structured forensic interview, guided by internationally recognised best practices, to gather information in a developmentally appropriate and evidence-based manner while considering alternative explanations. Following the evaluation, a comprehensive forensic report is prepared outlining the findings and professional opinions. Where required, expert witness testimony can be provided to assist the court.
Supervised contact may be considered when there are concerns that a child's welfare could be compromised during time spent with a parent. Its purpose is to provide a safe and structured setting in which the parent-child relationship can continue while safeguarding the child's emotional and physical well-being.
