Assessments for Immigration Purposes

Independent Social Workers (ISWs) can provide valuable supporting assessments for immigration and visa matters, particularly where families are at risk of separation. Our independent reports can be used to support applications or appeals to enter, remain, or return to the UK. ISWs can assess the wishes and feelings of children, explore the emotional and practical impact of separation, and provide expert social care assessments, including needs-based evaluations. These culturally sensitive, evidence-based reports help decision-makers understand the broader social context, safeguarding concerns, and the implications of immigration outcomes on family life and wellbeing.
