Independent Social Worker Reports, COP3  and Mental Capacity Assessments, SEND Tribunal and Immigration Reports Across England and Wales

Whether you are just browsing or looking to instruct us, we warmly welcome you to Simply Social Work. We are an Independent Social Work company and provide services across England and Wales.  Please do not hesitate to contact us if you cannot find what you are looking for on our website, although we have tried to include as much as possible within these pages.  Our aim is to make your experience with us as easy as possible.

We are a team of experienced Independent Social Workers bringing you an all-age Social Work service across England and Wales. We offer a fixed-fee service, so our fees are the same wherever in England or Wales you are, even if you are outside of our regional hub areas of London, Exeter, Southampton, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole.

At Simply Social Work, we provide a complete and unique approach to Independent Social Work because we have expertise in adult and children’s Social Work.  As well as our own Social Workers, we have a carefully selected team of experienced Associate Independent Social Workers based across England and Wales ready to meet your requirements,  whatever they are.

We work with solicitors, local authorities and families alike.  For adults, we can be instructed to assist in the areas of mental capacity assessments (including COP3 reports), best interests, care assessments, deprivation of liberty assessments, immigration tribunal reports and CHC (continuing healthcare).

For children and young people, we can be instructed to complete independent care assessments, parent carer assessments, mental capacity assessments (inc. COP3 reports for Deprivation of Liberty Order applications) and SEND appeal and specialist Tribunal reports.  We also offer a discreet VIP service for those who require it, including a bespoke, confidential alcohol support service.

You are in safe hands with us. Social Workers are highly skilled at assessment and report writing. We are particularly skilled at forensically analysing facts and asking the right questions to help us prepare court compliant reports.

We pride ourselves in attention to detail and ensure all assessments and reports are completed to the highest standards.  We understand that time is often of the essence when undertaking any work, particularly for the courts and tribunals so we aim to complete all reports within four weeks of being instructed. Our COP3 reports can be completed within seven days if required.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you would like to instruct us or discuss any aspect of our work. We are instructed by individuals, solicitors, case management companies, local authorities, clinical commissioning groups and care homes to provide high quality reports and assessments in the following areas:

Testimonials

We needed a capacity assessment for my husband, and Gary responded promptly,  and was happy to discuss the process several times with me over the phone. An appointment was set up very quickly at the care home and he was sensitive and considerate with my husband. As promised, Gary produced his report swiftly for the solicitor. I was very pleased with the whole process.

Thank you! I wanted to say how impressed (astonished would probably not be too strong a word!) we were by the way you  got Sam to speak so much, so confidently, so openly.

It has been a pleasure to work with Gary, who provided a presentation with a Q&A to one of the support groups in our network. He was friendly, approachable, keen to listen to our needs and tailor the work accordingly.

Gary was extremely knowledgeable on essential updates on case law and other developments relevant to my Best Interests Assessor’s role. I found this session an extremely helpful refresher to my role and helped as Gary has extensive practical and theoretical knowledge due to his own current practice.
